 ### Setup your Minio Github Repository
 Fork [Minio upstream](https://github.com/Minio-io/minio/fork) source repository to your own personal repository. Copy the URL and pass it to ``go get`` command. Go uses git to clone a copy into your project workspace folder.
 ```sh
+$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/minio-io
+$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/minio-io
 $ git clone https://github.com/$USER_ID/minio
 $ cd minio
