Let’s talk about the installation method of golang in windows

Go language is a statically compiled programming language that is widely used in server-side programming and network programming. The emergence of Go language has made software development more efficient, especially in the field of Internet applications. Installing the Go language environment on the Windows operating system is very simple. This article will introduce the installation steps and precautions.

Step one: Download the installation package

Select the corresponding version on the official website (https://golang.org/dl/) to download. Just select the Windows version of the installation package (.msi) file, and choose the 32-bit or 64-bit version according to your system environment.

Step 2: Installation

Double-click the downloaded .msi file and follow the wizard prompts. If there is an old version of the Go language environment, you will be prompted whether to delete the old version during the installation process. You can choose according to your needs. It is recommended to uninstall the old version before installing it.

Step 3: Configure environment variables

After the installation is completed, you need to configure environment variables so that the system can run Go language programs. The specific operations are as follows:

1. Open "Control Panel" and select "System and Security".
2. Click "System" and select "Advanced System Settings".
3. Under the "Advanced" tab, click the "Environment Variables" button.
4. In the system variables, find the "PATH" variable and click the "Edit" button.
5. Add the path of the Go language environment variable at the end of the variable value. Usually the default path is C:\Go\bin. If you choose another directory for installation, you need to change the path to your installation path.
6. Click the "OK" button to save the settings.

Step 4: Test the installation

After completing the above operations, you can check whether the installation is successful by entering "go version" on the command line. If the installation is successful, the command line will display the current version of the Go language environment information. At this point you can try to write a Hello World program for testing.

Summary

It is very simple to install the Go language environment on the Windows operating system. You only need to download the msi file and double-click to install it. At the same time, pay attention to configuring environment variables so that the system can correctly identify the Go language environment. If necessary, you can learn more programming knowledge and skills about Go language through Go language official documentation and other tutorials.
