Install Go and setup golang workingspace like below:

$ cd /usr/local
$ wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.12.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.12.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Open ~/.bashrc and set $GOPATH and $PATH environmental variables:

$ vim ~/.bashrc
  export GOPATH=$HOME/go
  export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOPATH/bin
$ source ~/.bashrc

Download source code:

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/DOSNetwork
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/DOSNetwork && git clone https://github.com/DOSNetwork/core.git
$ cd core

Install build-essential if not already done
```
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
```
Build:
- $ make vendor - to prepare dependencies for building
- $ make - to build release version client
Dev tips:
- $ go fmt ./... to reformat go source code.
- $ golint to fix style mistakes conflicting with effective go. (golint tool for vim users.)
- $ make devClient to build develoment version client.
- $ make updateSubmodule to fetch latest system contracts from repo, instead of making contract modifications locally.
- $ make gen to generate binding files for system contracts.
- $ make clean to remove built binaries or unnecessary generated files.

$ git checkout Beta1.1 to use source code of latest release and follow development-setup to build #beta1.0 client node from scratch.
You can also build from master branch which contains latest features/updates, but they might not be considered as release-ready.
Install and upload node executable binary file to remote server:
- $ ./vps.sh install
Start client node:
- $ ./vps.sh run
Stop client node:
- $ ./vps.sh stop
Check node status:
- $ ./vps.sh clientInfo
