# Installation from source
0. Verify that you have Go 1.13+ installed
```sh
$ go version
```
If `go` is not installed, follow instructions on [the Go website](https://golang.org/doc/install).
1. Clone this repository
```sh
$ git clone https://github.com/cli/cli.git gh-cli
$ cd gh-cli
```
2. Build and install
```sh
# installs to '/usr/local' by default; sudo may be required
$ make install
```
To install to a different location:
```sh
$ make install prefix=/path/to/gh
```
Make sure that the `${prefix}/bin` directory is in your PATH.
3. Run `gh version` to check if it worked.
