Let’s talk about the steps to install Go on Windows

Go (also known as Golang) is an emerging programming language designed for creating large-scale software projects. Go has efficient compilation speed, garbage collection function and concurrent programming capabilities, so it has been widely used in server-side and cloud computing fields.

This article will introduce the steps to install Go on Windows systems.

Step 1: Download Go

First you need to download the Go installation package from the official website (https://golang.org/dl/). Choose the version that suits your operating system and click the download button.

Step 2: Install Go

After the download is complete, double-click to open the installation package and follow the prompts to install. Just install according to the default options. During the installation process, you can choose to add environment variables and add the Go language installation path to the system environment variables, so that you can easily use command line tools to execute Go related commands.

Step 3: Verify the installation

After the installation is completed, you need to verify whether Go has been installed correctly. Open the command line tool and enter the following command:

go version

If Go has been successfully installed, the command line tool will output the Go version information. If there is no output, you need to recheck the installation process.

Step 4: Set the working directory

After the installation is completed, you need to set the working directory. You can create a folder to store Go code. In the command line tool, switch to the working directory and execute the following command:

mkdir mygo && cd mygo

This will create a folder named "mygo" and switch the working directory to the folder.

Step 5: Write the first Go program

After entering the working directory, you can write the first Go program. Create a new file in any text editor and paste the following code into it:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
)

func main() {
    fmt.Println("Hello, world!")
}

Save the file and name the Go program "main.go". In the command line tool, switch to the working directory and execute the following command:

go run main.go

If everything is normal, you will see "Hello, world!" output on the screen.
