 The following components are needed to use syzkaller:
 
+ - Go compiler and syzkaller itself
  - C compiler with coverage support
  - Linux kernel with coverage additions
  - Virtual machine or a physical device
- - syzkaller itself
 
 Generic steps to set up syzkaller are described below.
 
 If you encounter any troubles, check the [troubleshooting](/docs/troubleshooting.md) page.
 
+### Go and syzkaller
+
+`syzkaller` is written in [Go](https://golang.org), and `Go 1.13+`
+toolchain is required for build. The toolchain can be installed with:
+
+```
+wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.14.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
+tar -xf go1.14.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
+mv go goroot
+mkdir gopath
+export GOPATH=`pwd`/gopath
+export GOROOT=`pwd`/goroot
+export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$PATH
+export PATH=$GOROOT/bin:$PATH
+```
+
+Then get and build `syzkaller`:
+
+``` bash
+go get -u -d github.com/google/syzkaller/prog
+cd gopath/src/github.com/google/syzkaller/
+make
+```
+
+As the result compiled binaries should appear in the `bin/` dir.
+
+Also see [Go Getting Started](https://golang.org/doc/install) for more details.
+
+Note: if you want to do cross-OS/arch testing, you need to specify `TARGETOS`,
+`TARGETVMARCH` and `TARGETARCH` arguments to `make`. See the [Makefile](/Makefile) for details.
+
+Note: older versions of Go toolchain formatted code in a slightly
+[different way](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/25161).
+So if you are seeing unrelated code formatting diffs after running `make generate`
+or `make format`, you may be using `Go 1.10` or older. In such case update to `Go 1.13+`.

 ### C Compiler
 
 Syzkaller is a coverage-guided fuzzer and therefore it needs the kernel to be built with coverage support, which requires a recent GCC version.
