If your operating system does not have a binary release, but does run Go, you can build from source.
Make sure that you have Go version 1.5 or greater (Go 1.4 will work if your version supports CGO) and that your `GOPATH` env variable is set (I recommend setting it to `~/go` if you don't have one).
Make sure that you have Go version 1.11 or greater and Go modules are enabled.
```
go get -d github.com/zyedidia/micro/cmd/micro
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/zyedidia/micro
make install
git clone https://github.com/zyedidia/micro
cd micro
make build
sudo mv micro /usr/local/bin # optional
```
The binary will then be installed to `$GOPATH/bin` (or your `$GOBIN`).
The binary will be placed in the current directory and can be moved to
anywhere you like (for example `/usr/local/bin`).
Please make sure that when you are working with micro's code, you are working on your `GOPATH`.
The command `make install` will install the binary to `$GOPATH/bin` or `$GOBIN`.
You can install directly with `go get` (`go get -u github.com/zyedidia/micro/cmd/micro`) but this isn't recommended because it doesn't build micro with version information which is useful for the plugin manager.
