NOTE:
NOTES:

* `git` and mercurial (`hg`) are required in order for `go get` to fetch
all dependencies.
* Package managers often contain out-of-date `golang` packages.
Compilation from source is recommended.
* go-ipfs depends on cgo. In case you've disabled cgo, you'll need to
compile with `CGO_ENABLED=1`
* If you are interested in development, please install the development
dependencies as well.
* **WARNING: older versions of OSX FUSE can cause kernel panics when mounting!**
We strongly recommend you use the [latest version](http://osxfuse.github.io/) of OSX FUSE.
