$ go get -u github.com/$USER_ID/minio
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/$USER_ID/minio/
$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/Minio-io/minio.git

Minio use plain 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
