I tried the Ubuntu instructions on a Debian box but it errors out with:
fuchsia/.jiri_root/tmp/src/v.io/x/lib/cmdline/cmdline.go:236: undefined: os.Unsetenv
I suspect it is because the version of go in the repo is too old, I tried manually installing the newer version but still no joy

It runs on arm, arm64, and x64.
