How to install Git and Golang in Win and MacOS

Golang is a very popular programming language that is widely used in fields such as web development, cloud computing, and system programming. Some very popular open source projects such as WordPress are written in Golang. There are many excellent open source projects written in Golang on GitHub, so for programmers, learning Golang is very necessary.

Git is a version control tool and a very popular open source project. Using Git can easily manage code warehouses, control code versions and branches, and facilitate multi-person collaborative development. Since Golang often uses Git in development, before learning to install Golang, we need to install Git first.

This article will introduce how to install Git and Golang in Windows and Mac OS.

1. Install Git in Windows system

1. Download the Git installation package

Open the official website of Git https://git-scm.com/ download/win and download the Git installation package suitable for your Windows system.

2. Run the installation program

Double-click the downloaded Git installation package to install. During the installation process, you can choose the installation path and some other configuration options. It is recommended to use the default settings unless you have special needs for these options.

3. Verify whether Git is installed successfully

Open the command prompt (cmd) or PowerShell (pre-installed in Windows 10), enter the git --version command, if the output Git version number, it means that Git has been successfully installed.

2. Install Golang in Windows system

1. Download the Golang installation package

Open Golang’s official website https://golang.org/dl/ , and download the Golang installation package suitable for your Windows system.

2. Run the installation program

Double-click the downloaded Golang installation package to install. During the installation process, it is recommended to use the default settings unless you have special needs for these options.

3. Configure environment variables

In Windows, you need to add the Golang installation directory to the environment variables so that we can use Golang commands on the command line. The steps are as follows:

a. Right-click My Computer/This Computer and select "Properties".
b. In the "Advanced System Settings" window, click the "Environment Variables" button.
c. In the "Environment Variables" window, find Path in "System Variables" and double-click it.
d. In the "Edit Environment Variables" window, click the "New" button and add the following path.

 C:\Go\bin

Note: If you have installed Golang in a different directory, please replace C:\Go\bin with your own Golang installation directory.

4. Verify whether Golang is installed successfully

Open the command prompt or PowerShell and enter the following command in the command line:

go version

If the version number of Golang is output, it means that Golang has been successfully installed and configured.

3. Install Git in Mac OS

1. Install the Xcode command line tool

In Mac OS, Git is not installed by default. To use Git, you need to first install Apple's Xcode development environment and its accompanying command line tools. Open the terminal and check whether the Xcode development environment has been installed. The command is as follows:

xcode-select --install

Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

2. Install Homebrew

Open a terminal and run the following command:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https:/ /raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

This will install Homebrew. Homebrew is a very popular package manager on Mac. It can be used to easily install and manage many software Packages and libraries.

3. Install Git

Run the following command in the terminal:

brew install git

This will install Git using Homebrew. After the installation is complete, enter the following command to verify whether the installation is successful:

git --version

If the terminal returns the correct version number of Git, it means that Git is installed successfully.

4. Install Golang in Mac OS

1. Download Golang

In Mac OS, we need to download the Golang tarball archive file. Open Golang's official website https://golang.org/dl/ and download the corresponding tarball archive file.

2. Install Golang

Open a terminal, unzip the Golang tarball archive file and move it to the /usr/local directory:

tar -C /usr/ local -xzf go$VERSION.$OS-$ARCH.tar.gz

$VERSION, $OS and $ARCH here represent the Golang version, operating system and CPU architecture respectively, and need to be replaced according to the actual situation. For example, the Golang installation command for MacOSX operating system and x86_64 CPU architecture is as follows:

tar -C /usr/local -xzf go$VERSION.darwin-amd64.tar.gz

3. Configure environment variables

In Mac OS, you also need to add the Golang installation directory to the environment variable:

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

You can add the above code to the two files .bashrc or .zshrc, so that Golang's environment variable settings will be automatically loaded every time you start the terminal.

4. Verify whether Golang is installed successfully

Enter the following command in the terminal:

go version

If the correct Golang version number is returned, it means that Golang has been successfully installed.

Summary

With the above steps, you should have successfully installed Git and Golang. Git and Golang are both very useful tools and an essential part of the modern software development process. In order to successfully start learning and using these two tools, we must ensure that they have been installed and configured.

I hope this article can help you complete the installation process of Git and Golang.
