Go Requirements

• Install Go 1.16 or later.
• This project uses Go modules.

Building the Binaries

Setup:

• If you're going to use the makefile, set GOMODCACHE (you can just set it to the output of go env GOMODCACHE, unless you want it somewhere else).
• check out a copy of the repo into your gopath. You can use: go get github.com/evergreen-ci/evergreen or just git clone https://github.com/evergreen-ci/evergreen.

Possible Targets:

• run make build to compile a binary for your local system.
• run make dist to compile binaries for all supported systems and create a dist tarball with all artifacts.
