## Building the source

For prerequisites and detailed build instructions please read the
[Installation Instructions](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Building-Ethereum)
on the wiki.

Building geth requires both a Go and a C compiler.
You can install them using your favourite package manager.
Once the dependencies are installed, run

    make geth

## Executables

Go Ethereum comes with several wrappers/executables found in 
[the `cmd` directory](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/develop/cmd):

 Command  |         |
----------|---------|
`geth` | Ethereum CLI (ethereum command line interface client) |
`bootnode` | runs a bootstrap node for the Discovery Protocol |
`ethtest` | test tool which runs with the [tests](https://github.com/ethereum/tests) suite: `/path/to/test.json > ethtest --test BlockTests --stdin`.
`evm` | is a generic Ethereum Virtual Machine: `evm -code 60ff60ff -gas 10000 -price 0 -dump`. See `-h` for a detailed description. |
`disasm` | disassembles EVM code: `echo "6001" | disasm` |
`rlpdump` | prints RLP structures |

## Command line options

`geth` can be configured via command line options, environment variables and config files.

To get the options available:

    geth help

For further details on options, see the [wiki](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Command-Line-Options)
