apt install -y bison gcc make

bash < <(curl -s -S -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moovweb/gvm/master/binscripts/gvm-installer)

gvm install go1.15.4 -B

gvm use go1.15.4 --default

FAQ

What is the relationship between NekoX and Nekogram?

More features, without additional trackers.

What is the difference between Full and Mini version?

The full version comes with built-in proxy support for v2ray, shadowsocks, and shadowsocksr, which is usually provided to advanced users to help friends who have no computer knowledge in mainland China to bypass censorship. Don't complain about imperfect functions or ask to add other rare proxy types, you can use their clients directly.

What if I don't need a proxy?

Then it is recommended to use the Mini version.
