Step 1: Download Golang from the official website

Before installing Golang, you need to download Golang from the official website. The official website of Golang is [golang.org](https://golang.org/). Find the download button in the upper right corner of the website, click it and select the appropriate operating system version to download.

Note: Before downloading Golang, you need to know your operating system type and bit number in order to choose the correct download version.

After downloading Golang, double-click the downloaded file to install it. In the installation wizard, you can customize the installation path or use the default path for installation.

After the installation is completed, you can find the Golang installation directory in the installation path you specified (or default). On Windows, the default installation path of Golang is "C:\Go"; on Linux, the default installation path of Golang is "/usr/local/go".

Step 3: Configure system environment variables

After installing Golang, you need to add the Golang installation path to the environment variable system path. This is to allow the operating system to access Golang.

On Windows, you need to find the properties of "My Computer" or "Computer", and then enter "Path" in "Advanced System Settings" - "Environment Variables" - "System Variables". Click "Edit" and add ";C:\Go\bin" at the end of the variable value (assuming that the Golang installation directory is "C:\Go").

On Linux, you need to open the "/etc/profile" file and add a line at the end of the file:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

After completion, you need to enter the following command to make the configuration take effect:

source /etc/profile

Step 4: Test Golang installation

After installing and configuring Golang, you need to test whether Golang is available.

On Windows, press "Win R" and enter "cmd" to open the command prompt. Enter "go version". If the output is similar to "go version go1.16.3 windows/amd64", it means that Golang has been successfully installed.

On Linux, open the terminal and enter "go version". If information similar to "go version go1.16.3 linux/amd64" is output, Golang has been successfully installed.
