Nope. If user is going to compile from sources she also needs to install Go compiler and tools. Once she has it the mage is a `go install` command away. Shorter than typical line of "prerequisites" needed by non-developer user on most of linux distros. (If she is about to install binary she does not need mage at all - 99% deployments of Go based apps are just the single executable.) > leaving the user with ... they probably never ever need nor update again. Make does not come alone for end-users. Usually it comes bundled with several hundreds of megabytes of the devel packages user gets after issuing eg. `sudo apt-get install build-essential`. Then she's left with a bit more more unused stuff than a single mage binary. TC, -- Wojciech S.
