Let’s talk about the steps to build a golang environment

Golang is a programming language developed by Google. Since its release in 2007, it has been widely used in cloud computing and web development. How to build a golang environment locally is one of the most concerning issues for beginners. Next we will introduce in detail the steps of setting up the golang environment.

1. Download and install golang

First we need to download the golang installation package from the official website or mirror website, and then install it according to the prompts. If you are using a Windows system, it is recommended to use the default installation path; if you are using a Mac or Linux system, you can unzip golang to the /opt directory or put it in your personal directory.

2. Configure golang environment variables

After the installation is complete, we need to manually set the golang environment variables. In the Windows system, open System Properties -> Click Advanced System Settings -> Click Environment Variables, and then create a new GOPATH variable in the user variables, whose value is the path of the golang workspace. In Mac or Linux systems, the GOPATH and PATH environment variables need to be set in the bashrc file.

3. Set up golang workspace

In order to facilitate the management and use of golang project projects, we need to create a workspace. In the workspace, create three folders: src, pkg and bin. Among them, the src folder stores the golang project source code, the pkg folder stores the compiled package files, and the bin folder stores the compiled binary executable files.

4. Configure golang editor

After we have the golang environment and workspace, we need to choose an editor to write golang code. It is recommended to use various editors such as GoLand, VS Code, Sublime Text, etc. In the editor, you need to set options such as golang's working path and environment variables to ensure smoothness when writing code.

5. Test the golang environment

After completing the above steps, we need to test whether the golang environment is successfully built. Enter the following command in the terminal:

go version

If the current golang version number can be correctly output, it means that the golang environment has been set up successfully.

Summary:

Through the above steps, we can easily set up a local golang environment, which is suitable for those who want to learn and develop golang-based applications. Students, this is very important. Although golang may have some minor problems when you first learn it, through continuous learning and exploration in practice, I believe you will be able to become an excellent golang programmer.
