Install

• Go to the download page on golang website: https://golang.org/dl/
• Choose the package file according to your operating system
• Download the package file, extract it, and follow the prompts to install the Go tools.

Windows

• For Windows open the MSI file and follow the prompts to install the Go tools. By default, the installer puts the Go distribution in the c:/Go
• Ths installer should direct the Go path to the c:\Go\bin in your PATH environment variable. To check that open terminal and type go env
• If the GoPATH was directed to somewhere else, you can edit it through the "Environment Variables" button on the "Advaced System Settings" option inside the "System" control panel.

Debian / Ubunbu

• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get upgrade
• curl -O https://dl.google.com/go/go1.10.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
• tar -xzvf go1.10.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
• sudo mv go /usr/local

Arch

• sudo pacman -S go go-tools

Mac

• curl -O https://dl.google.com/go/go1.10.3.darwin-amd64.pkg
• Execute sudo installer -pkg /your/path/go1.10.3.darwin-amd64.pkg -target / then next/next/finish (you can find the path using the pwd command)
• OR
• brew install go

Config

Windows

• On terminal you need to set up a workspace that consist of the three forlders (bin/ src/ pkg/) at the root (in this case the root is c:\projects\Go) using the following commands:
  • mkdir c:\projects\Go
  • mkdir c:\projects\Go\bin
  • mkdir c:\projects\Go\pkg
  • mkdir c:\projects\Go\src

Then set up the GOPATH

- `set GOPATH=c:\projects\Go\bin`
- `set PATH=%PATH%`

Dev Box

• Linux and Mac: paste the following commands in terminal:

  • mkdir ~/go
  • nano ~/.bashrc
    • export GOPATH=$HOME/go
    • export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
    • OR
    • export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOPATH/bin - for Debian/Ubuntu

Test It

• go env
