How to install go environment (win+linux system)

Golang is a programming language launched by Google. It has the characteristics of high performance, high concurrency, simplicity and ease of understanding, and is suitable for the development of network programming, high-concurrency servers, cloud computing and other fields. More and more developers are starting to pay attention to and learn Golang. This article will explain how to install Golang in Windows and Linux operating systems.

1. Install Golang in Windows

1. Download the installation package

Visit Golang official website (https:/ /golang.org/dl/), download the Golang installation package suitable for your operating system architecture. Windows operating systems are divided into 32-bit and 64-bit, so you need to download the corresponding installation package for installation.

2. Installing Golang

Open the downloaded Golang installation package and install it step by step according to the default settings. After the installation is complete, enter the "go version" command on the command line. If the version information appears, the installation is successful.

3. Configuring GOPATH

GOPATH is Golang’s workspace, which contains your source code, third-party code packages, compiled and generated files, etc. By default, the GOPATH path is "%USERPROFILE%\go" (USERPROFILE is the current username). You can modify the GOPATH path. It is recommended to set GOPATH to a separate folder path.

Open the environment variable settings, add the GOPATH variable, and set its value to the workspace path you want, such as "D:\gowork". Add this path to the environment variable Path so you can use the go command in all folders.

2. Install Golang in Linux

1. Download the installation package

There are many ways to install Golang in Linux. This includes installation using a package manager, installing using binary files, compiling and installing from source code, etc. Here we introduce how to install using the package manager.

First, update the source list:

sudo apt-get update

Then, install Golang using the following command:

sudo apt-get install golang

2. Configure GOPATH

Similarly, GOPATH also needs to be configured in Linux. As in Windows, set GOPATH to a separate folder path. Enter the following command in the terminal:

echo 'export GOPATH=$HOME/go' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

The above command sets GOPATH to $HOME/go and adds $GOPATH/bin to the PATH environment variable.

3. Summary

The above is how to install Golang in Windows and Linux operating systems. By installing Golang, you can start learning and developing Golang applications. If you are a novice developer, it is recommended to start with basic syntax and common libraries. After all, in the field of programming, the foundation is the most important!
