 Check that the GOROOT environment variable is set to C:\Go
o This should have been done by the Go installer
 Add the following locations to your PATH: C:\Users\username\go\bin;C:\Go\bin

your PATH (This is the latest release as of 2016-09-29)
 go get github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep
o You should be able to type dep and get dep's usage display. If not, double check the steps
above
 go get github.com/HcashOrg/gominer
o Compilation will most likely fail which
can be safely ignored for now.
 Change to the gominer directory
o If using the Windows Command Prompt: cd
%GOPATH%/src/github.com/HcashOrg/gominer
o If using git-bash cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/HcashOrg/gominer
