 And that's it. The last line should find and download all of the required dependencies to build the project. Although other versions of Go may work, the project has been tested to work with versions v1.20 and later on MacOS and Linux.
 
+### Building on Debian 12 (Bookworm)
+
+Getting the `magellan` tool to work with Go 1.21 on Debian 12 may require installing the `golang-1.21` meta-package from `bookworm-backports` through `apt` along with GCC for comping the `go-sqlite3` driver.
+
+```bash
+apt install gcc golang-1.21/bookworm-backport
+```
+
+The binary executable for the `golang-1.21` executable can then be found using `dpkg`.
+
+```bash
+dpkg -L golang-1.21-go
+```
+
+Using the correct binary, set the `CGO_ENABLED` environment variable and build the executable with `cgo` enabled:
+
+```bash
+export GOBIN=/usr/bin/golang-1.21/bin/go 
+go env -w CGO_ENABLED=1
+go mod tidy && go build
+```
+
+This might take some time to complete initially because of the `go-sqlite3` driver, but should be much faster after subsequent builds.

 ### Docker
 
 The tool can also run using Docker. To build the Docker container, run `docker build -t magellan:testing .` in the project's directory. This is useful if you to run `magellan` on a different system through Docker desktop without having to install and build with Go (or if you can't do so for some reason). [Prebuilt images](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/magellan/pkgs/container/magellan) are available as well on `ghcr`. Images can be pulled directly from the repository:

 ## Usage
 
 The sections below assume that the BMC nodes have an IP address available to query Redfish. Currently, `magellan` does not support discovery with MAC addresses although that may change in the future.
