First, if you use Windows, I'm sorry; this should work, but you'll have to modify the directions for your setup. I haven't tested on Windows. To prepare for this tutorial, please: 1. Open up your favorite shell (bash/zsh/fish) 2. cd to the directory you copied from the USB stick (gostick/) 3. ls packages/ and pick the one that is best for you, they should be named in a relatively straightforward fashion. 4. Untar the selected package into the gostick/ dir, like: username:~/gostick$ tar -zxvf packages/go1.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz Now, if you "ls -l", you should see something like this: -rwxr-xr-x 1 marksmith staff 120 Jan 3 22:52 bash.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 marksmith staff 118 Jan 3 22:52 fish.sh drwxr-xr-x 20 marksmith staff 680 Jan 3 22:50 go drwxr-xr-x 3 marksmith staff 102 Jan 3 22:51 helloworld drwxr-xr-x 12 marksmith staff 408 Jan 3 22:46 packages ... It's important that you untar the tarball from packages/ so that it ends up in the go/ directory. 5. Source the right file for your shell ("source bash.sh" etc) 6. Verify go works, type "go", and you should see: username:~/gostick$ go Go is a tool for managing Go source code. ... 7. If the worst happens, ask a neighbor and/or ask for help so that you are with us as we move along. :-) --Mark
