Commands used to install golang

Commands I used to install Go language (golang) on Ubuntu amd64:

sudo apt-get install mercurial bison gcc libc6-dev ed make
cd ~
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export GOARCH=amd64
export GOOS=linux
mkdir $HOME/gobin
export GOBIN=$HOME/gobin
export PATH=$PATH:$GOBIN
hg clone -r release https://go.googlecode.com/hg/ $GOROOT
cd $GOROOT/src
./all.bash

To compile something make a test program e.g.:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
       fmt.Printf("hello, world\n")
}

and compile with:

8g test.go ;8l test.8 ;./8.out
