The thread I linked to has all of the commands to compile and run the code. Note it is written in go, and there is no go compiler for irix, so it must be run on another computer. The commands in the thread should work for Ubuntu, Mint, and other similar distros. Other distros (or Mac) will use different commands to install git and go.

Once you have the tar, just transfer it to your SGI (I use ftp, NFS also works), untar it, and use the software manager to install it.
