    27  ## Binary Distribution Notes
    28  
    29  If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
    30  the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
    31  directory (the one containing this file).  You can omit the
    32  variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
    33  from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html).
    34  You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
    35  to your shell's path.
    36  
    37  For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
    38  put the following in your .profile:
    39  
    40  	export GOROOT=$HOME/go
    41  	export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
    42  
    43  See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
