Build
=====
Mist (GUI):
`go get github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/cmd/mist`
Geth (CLI):
`go get github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/cmd/geth`
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), switch to the go-ethereum repository root folder, and build/install the executable you need:
Mist (GUI):
```
godep go build -v ./cmd/mist
```
Geth (CLI):
```
godep go build -v ./cmd/geth
```
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)

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 two external dependencies, Go and GMP.
You can install them using your favourite package manager.
Once the dependencies are installed, run
make geth

* `disasm` disassembles EVM code: `echo "6001" | disasm`

Command line options
============================
====================
Both `mist` and `geth` can be configured via command line options, environment variables and config files.
To get the options available:
```
geth -help
```
geth --help
