| You need to install Git, curl, and Go. |
| |
| The following commands should work on a Debian-based Linux distribution. Other |
| distributions might require use of `yum` instead of `apt-get`. Adapt as needed. |
| |
| This document assumes that you are using the Bash shell. |
| |
| # Git |

| Vanadium code is managed using Git. Learn more about Git setup on [GitHub]. |

| # Curl |
| |
| The install script uses curl to download some prerequisites. |
| |
| ``` |
| sudo apt-get install curl |
| ``` |
| |
| # Go |
| |
| Vanadium is mostly implemented in Go. Learn more about Go installation on the |
| [Go website]. |
| |
| ``` |
| # Install the Go binaries in $HOME/go. |
| curl -f https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz | tar -C $HOME -xzf - |
| |
| # Modify your `.bashrc` file or its equivalent to faciliate Go usage. |
| cat - <<"EOF" >> $HOME/.bashrc |
| export GOROOT=$HOME/go |
| export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin |
