`go get github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/cmd/ethereum`
For further, detailed, build instruction please see the [Wiki](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Building-Ethereum(Go))
As of POC-8, go-ethereum uses [Godep](https://github.com/tools/godep) to manage dependencies. Assuming you have [your environment all set up](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Building-Ethereum(Go)), switch to the go-ethereum repository root folder, and build/install the executable you need:
Mist (GUI):
```
godep go build -v ./cmd/mist
```
Ethereum (CLI):
```
godep go build -v ./cmd/ethereum
```
Instead of `build`, you can use `install` which will also install the resulting binary.
For prerequisites and detailed build instructions please see the [Wiki](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Building-Ethereum(Go))
If you intend to develop on go-ethereum, check the [Developers' Guide](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Developers'-Guide)

Go Ethereum comes with several wrappers/executables found in
[the `cmd` directory](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/develop/cmd):
* `mist` Official Ethereum Browser
* `ethereum` Ethereum CLI
* `ethtest` test tool which runs with the [tests](https://github.com/ethereum/testes) suit:
* `mist` Official Ethereum Browser (ethereum GUI client)
* `ethereum` 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/testes) suite:
`cat file | ethtest`.
* `evm` is a generic Ethereum Virtual Machine: `evm -code 60ff60ff -gas
10000 -price 0 -dump`. See `-h` for a detailed description.
* `rlpdump` converts a rlp stream to `interface{}`.
* `peerserver` simple P2P (noi-ethereum) peer server.
* `disasm` disassembles EVM code: `echo "6001" | disasm`
* `rlpdump` converts a rlp stream to `interface{}`.
General command line options
Command line options
============================
Both `mist` and `ethereum` can be configured via command line options, environment variables and config files.
To get the options available:
```
== Shared between ethereum and Mist ==
= Settings
-id Set the custom identifier of the client (shows up on other clients)
-port Port on which the server will accept incomming connections
-upnp Enable UPnP
-maxpeer Desired amount of peers
-rpc Start JSON RPC
-dir Data directory used to store configs and databases
= Utility
-h This
-import Import a private key
-genaddr Generates a new address and private key (destructive action)
-dump Dump a specific state of a block to stdout given the -number or -hash
-difftool Supress all output and prints VM output to stdout
-diff vm=only vm output, all=all output including state storage
Ethereum only
ethereum [options] [filename]
-js Start the JavaScript REPL
filename Load the given file and interpret as JavaScript
-m Start mining blocks
== Mist only ==
-asset_path absolute path to GUI assets directory
ethereum -help
```
For further details on options, see the [wiki](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Command-Line-Options)

If you'd like to contribute to go-ethereum please fork, fix, commit and
send a pull request. Commits who do not comply with the coding standards
are ignored (use gofmt!). If you send pull requests make absolute sure that you
commit on the `develop` branch and that you do not merge to master.
Commits that are directly based on master are simply ignored.
For dependency management, we use [godep](https://github.com/tools/godep). After installing with `go get github.com/tools/godep`, run `godep restore` to ensure that changes to other repositories do not break the build. To update a dependency version (for example, to include a new upstream fix), run `go get -u <foo/bar>` then `godep update <foo/...>`. To track a new dependency, add it to the project as normal than run `godep save ./...`. Changes to the Godeps folder should be manually verified then commited.
