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))

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 == ethereum -help
= 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
``` ```

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.
