These are the install instructions for go-ipfs. We will have install packages shortly, but for now, we must install from source.
Dependencies:
Then run:
go get -u github.com/jbenet/go-ipfs/cmd/ipfs
This will download ipfs and its dependencies, and compile ipfs
. Test it out:
> ipfs version
ipfs version 0.2.0
That's it!
If you have any problems, come get live help at #ipfs or via the mailing list.
IPFS works with Go 1.4+
To check what go version you have installed, type go version
.
Here's what I get:
> go version
go version go1.4.1 darwin/amd64
If you need to update, it is recommended to install from the canonical Go packages. Package managers often contain out-of-date Go packages.
