#### Download and Compile IPFS

go-ipfs differs from the vanilla `go get` flow: it uses
[gx](https://github.com/whyrusleeping/gx)/[gx-go](https://github.com/whyrusleeping/gx-go)
for dependency management.

First download `go-ipfs` without installing:

```
$ go get -u -d github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs
```

Then install `go-ipfs` and its dependencies, including `gx` and `gx-go`:

```
$ make install
```

#### Building on less common systems

If your operating system isn't officially supported, but you still want to try
building ipfs anyways (it should work fine in most cases), you can do the
following:
following instead of `make install`:

- Install gx: `go get -u github.com/whyrusleeping/gx`
- Install gx-go: `go get -u github.com/whyrusleeping/gx-go`
- Fetch ipfs source: `go get -d github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs 2> /dev/null`
- Enter source directory: `cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs`
- Install deps: `gx install`
- Install ipfs: `go install ./cmd/ipfs`
```
$ make install_unsupported
```

Note: This process may break if [gx](https://github.com/whyrusleeping/gx) or any of its dependencies break as `go get`

mismatched APIs.
