+This wiki page documents the file tree for a source installation of go1.9.2 to which have been added the github.com/golang blog, net and tools sub-repositories, and the github.com/gonum/gonum repository. It is somewhat consistent with the file tree of the golang.org/dl pre-compiled downloads for GNU/Linux. It presumes the reader is familiar with utilisation of $GOPATH on Un*x as a colon-separated string; GNU/Linux being a multi-user OS the added sub-repositories and repository are located in $HOME/go and /usr/share/gocode.

+
+test contains tests of the Go tool chain and runtime
+
+The github.com/golang net and tools sub-repositories and github.com/gonum/gonum repository can be located in /usr/share/gocode, utilising the following commands.
+
+```
+% su -c tcsh
+Password:
+# setenv GOPATH /usr/share/gocode
+# go get -u golang.org/x/tools/...
+# go get -u gonum.org/v1/gonum/...
+# find $GOPATH -print0 | xargs -0 file | grep "executable" | grep ELF \
+? | cut -f 1 -d : | xargs strip --strip-unneeded
+# exit
+%
+```
+
+To compile Go code with the libraries in /usr/share/gocode you must add the location to $GOPATH.
+
+```
+% setenv GOPATH $HOME/go:/usr/share/gocode
+% go get -u golang.org/x/blog
+package golang.org/x/blog: no Go files in /home/eric/go/src/golang.org/x/blog
+% cd go/src/golang.org/x/blog/blog
+% go build
+% mv blog $HOME/go/bin
+%
+```
+
+This page utilises the C shell as [SettingGOPATH](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/SettingGOPATH) doesn't include that shell.
+
+For information on running the blog server see [Go Blog](https://github.com/golang/blog); those instructions might be more comprehensive being edited, but for Un*x just omit the .exe
+file extension.
