Setup your Minio Github Repository

Fork Minio upstream source repository to your own personal repository. Copy the URL and pass it to go get command. Go uses git to clone a copy into your project workspace folder.

$ git clone https://github.com/$USER_ID/minio
$ cd minio
$ mkdir -p ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/minio-io
$ ln -s ${PWD} $GOPATH/src/github.com/minio-io/

Compiling Minio from source

Minio uses Makefile to wrap around some of the limitations of go build. To compile Minio source, simply change to your workspace folder and type make.

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/$USER_ID/minio/
$ make
