How to install Go language on Windows, Mac OS and Linux

The Go language (also known as Golang) is a modern programming language developed by Google. It is widely used in network programming, system programming, cloud computing and other fields. In this article, we will introduce how to install Go language on Windows, Mac OS and Linux.

1. Download Go language

First, visit the Go official website (https://golang.org/dl/) and choose the installer suitable for your operating system. Once downloaded, double-click the installer and follow the instructions to install Go.

2. Environment variable configuration

On Windows, you need to add the Go installation path to the system path. To do this, right-click on the computer icon, select "Properties" and then select "Advanced system settings" on the upper side of the window that opens. Under the "Advanced" tab, click the "Environment Variables" button. Find the "Path" variable under "System Variables" and click the "Edit" button. In the Edit System Variables window, click the "New" button and enter the Go installation path, for example: C:\Go\bin. Once completed, click the OK button.

On Mac OS, you need to add the Go installation path to the .bash_profile file. To do this, open the Terminal application and enter the following command:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin' >> ~/.bash_profile

On Linux, you will need to add the Go installation path to the .bashrc file. To do this, open a terminal and enter the following command:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin' >> ~/.bashrc

3. Test Installation

After the installation is complete, test whether your installation was successful. On Windows, open a command prompt and enter the following command:

go version

If you receive the following message, the installation is successful:

go version go1.13 windows/amd64

On Mac OS or Linux, open a terminal and enter The following command:
