* [OS X](http://build.ethdev.com/builds/OSX%20Go%20develop%20branch/Mist-OSX-latest.dmg)
* Ubuntu
  [trusty](https://build.ethdev.com/builds/Linux%20Go%20develop%20deb%20i386-trusty/latest/) |
  [utopic](https://build.ethdev.com/builds/Linux%20Go%20develop%20deb%20i386-utopic/latest/)
* [Windows 64-bit](https://build.ethdev.com/builds/Windows%20Go%20develop%20branch/Geth-Win64-latest.7z)

Building the source
===================

For prerequisites and detailed build instructions please read the
[Installation Instructions](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Building-Ethereum)
on the wiki.

Building geth requires two external dependencies, Go and GMP.
You can install them using your favourite package manager.
Once the dependencies are installed, run

    make geth

Executables
===========

Go Ethereum comes with several wrappers/executables found in 
[the `cmd` directory](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/develop/cmd):

* `mist` Official Ethereum Browser (ethereum GUI client)
* `geth` Ethereum CLI (ethereum command line interface client)
* `bootnode` runs a bootstrap node for the Discovery Protocol
* `ethtest` test tool which runs with the [tests](https://github.com/ethereum/testes) suite: 
  `cat file | ethtest`.
* `evm` is a generic Ethereum Virtual Machine: `evm -code 60ff60ff -gas
  10000 -price 0 -dump`. See `-h` for a detailed description.
* `disasm` disassembles EVM code: `echo "6001" | disasm`
* `rlpdump` prints RLP structures

Command line options
====================

Both `mist` and `geth` can be configured via command line options, environment variables and config files.

To get the options available:

    geth --help

For further details on options, see the [wiki](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Command-Line-Options)

Contribution
============

If you'd like to contribute to go-ethereum please fork, fix, commit and
send a pull request. Commits who do not comply with the coding standards
are ignored (use gofmt!). If you send pull requests make absolute sure that you
commit on the `develop` branch and that you do not merge to master.
Commits that are directly based on master are simply ignored.
