How to deploy Golang on Windows

In today's technologically prosperous era, more and more developers are beginning to use Golang (also known as Go language) for development. Golang is widely regarded as a fast, efficient and reliable programming language capable of meeting the needs of modern applications. In this context, mastering how to deploy Golang on Windows will bring many benefits to developers, here are the detailed steps:

1. Download Golang

First, you need Download and install Golang on Windows. This is one of the most basic preparations. You can find the download link on Golang’s official website.

2. Installing Golang

Once you have downloaded the Golang installation package, you can start the installation. You can directly run the downloaded installation package and click the install button, or you can install it via the command line.

If you choose to install via the command line, then you need to open a command prompt window with administrator privileges and run the following command:

msiexec /i path\to\msi

Among them, path/to/msi is the location of the Golang installation package you downloaded.

3. Set environment variables

Golang needs to set environment variables to ensure that it can be used correctly. You need to add Golang's installation directory to your PATH environment variable. To do this, follow these steps:

• Right-click on Computer and select "Properties".

• Click the "OK" button and close all windows.

4. Verify your installation

Once you have successfully installed Golang and configured the environment variables, it is time to verify the correctness of your installation. You can type the following command in the command prompt window:

go version

This will display the version number of Golang. If the version number is displayed, it means you have successfully installed Golang.

5. Start using Golang

Now that you have successfully installed Golang and set environment variables, you can start developing with Golang. You can use a text editor to write Golang code and a command prompt window to compile and run your application.

Summary:

The above 5 steps are the basic steps required to deploy Golang on Windows. Although it may feel difficult at first, over time you will gradually develop a deep understanding of the Golang language and the skills to become a good developer. At the same time, it is worth noting that you can also use other operating systems to deploy Golang, such as Linux or MacOS, etc.
