## Download
-First, retrieve the source code. The easiest way is to use the Go tool. Use the
-following commands to fetch the source and switch into the source directory.
-Go is quite opinionated about where it expects its source code, and simply
-cloning the Gitea repository to an arbitrary path is likely to lead to
-problems - the fixing of which is out of scope for this document.
+First, we must retrieve the source code. Since, the advent of go modules, the
+simplest way of doing this is to use git directly as we no longer have to have
+gitea built from within the GOPATH.
```bash
-go get -d -u code.gitea.io/gitea
-cd "$GOPATH/src/code.gitea.io/gitea"
+git clone https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea
```
+(Previous versions of this document recommended using `go get`. This is
+no longer necessary.)
+
Decide which version of Gitea to build and install. Currently, there are
multiple options to choose from. The `master` branch represents the current
development version. To build with master, skip to the [build section](#build).
