Introduction to golang1.6 installation method

Go language (Go) is an open source, modern programming language developed and released by Google in 2009. It has efficient concurrency and scalability, and is particularly suitable for building high-performance network services and distributed systems. In this article, I will show you how to install Go language version 1.6 on Linux operating system.

1. Download Go language

First, you need to download the binary file of Go language. It can be downloaded from the Go official website (https://golang.org/dl/). The version we downloaded is go1.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz. This is the version for 64-bit Linux systems.

2. Unzip the file

After the download is complete, you need to unzip the file. Before unzipping, make sure you have moved the files to the installation location. By default, Linux installs software to the /usr/local/ directory, so we move the files to the /usr/local/ directory.

sudo mv go1.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz /usr/local/

Then enter the /usr/local/ directory and use the following command to decompress the file:

sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz

This will create a new go subdirectory under the /usr/local/go directory.

3. Configure environment variables

You need to add the Go language path to your system environment variables so that you can run Go language programs from any location. To achieve this, edit the /etc/profile file.

sudo vi /etc/profile

Find the end of the file and add the following line:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

Save and close the file, then reload the file using the following command:

source /etc/profile

4. Check the Go language version

After the installation is complete, you can verify whether the Go language was successfully installed. Just enter the following command in the terminal:

go version

The output should show the version number of the installed Go language. If you see the output, congratulations! You have successfully installed the Go language. Now, you can start writing Go language programs.
