### Some common stuff

#### Install Go

We need Go for [celo-blockchain](https://github.com/celo-org/celo-blockchain), the Go Celo implementation, and `gobind` to build Java language bindings to Go code for the Android Geth client).

Note: We currently use Go 1.11. Brew installs Go 1.12 by default, which is not entirely compatible with our repositories. [Install Go 1.11 manually](https://golang.org/dl/), then run

```
go get golang.org/x/mobile/cmd/gobind
```

Execute the following (and make sure the lines are in your `~/.bash_profile`):

```
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
```

#### Optional: Install Rust

We use Rust to build the [bls-zexe](https://github.com/celo-org/bls-zexe) repo, which Geth depends on. If you only use the monorepo, you probably don't need this.
