You can find compiled binaries for your platform under "Releases" or if you prefer quick install:

$ curl -L https://github.com/dz0ny/gobu/releases/download/v0.7.5/gobu-`uname -s`-`uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/gobu
$ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gobu

Example starting new project

$ mkdir -p project/src/hello_world
$ cd project
$ gobu shell --version=1.9.3 or 1.10rc1
2016/08/25 09:55:52 >> You are now in a new GOBU shell. To exit, type 'exit'
2016/08/25 09:55:52 GOPATH /home/dz0ny/project
2016/08/25 09:55:52 GOROOT /home/dz0ny/.gobu/1.7/go
$ nano src/hello_world/main.go

package main

import "fmt"
func main() {
    fmt.Println("hello world")
}

$ go build hello_world
$ tree
.
├── hello_world
└── src
    └── hello_world
        └── main.go

What it does

Downloads latest version from releases and runs it in shell. After the GO is bootstrapped you will end up in shell with "Vendoring" enabled and with fresh env set up for you.

Why

Because I hate setting environment every time for every project(not library).
