# Development Guide
# Releases and Official Builds
This document is intended to be the canonical source of truth for things like
supported toolchain versions for building Kubernetes. If you find a
requirement that this doc does not capture, please file a bug. If you find
other docs with references to requirements that are not simply links to this
doc, please file a bug.
This document is intended to be relative to the branch in which it is found.
It is guaranteed that requirements will change over time for the development
branch, but release branches of Kubernetes should not change.
## Releases and Official Builds
Official releases are built in Docker containers. Details are [here](http://releases.k8s.io/HEAD/build/README.md). You can do simple builds and development with just a local Docker installation. If want to build go locally outside of docker, please continue below.
## Go development environment
Kubernetes is written in [Go](http://golang.org) programming language. If you haven't set up Go development environment, please follow [this instruction](http://golang.org/doc/code.html) to install go tool and set up GOPATH. Ensure your version of Go is at least 1.3.
