How to install Gin in environments such as Windows and Linux

Gin is a very popular choice when learning and using Golang's web framework. It has fast performance, clean design and rich features. However, to start using it, we need to install it first.

This article will introduce you to how to install Gin in environments such as Windows and Linux.

Windows

In a Windows environment, we first need to install Go. You can download and install the 64-bit Go distribution from the official website.

After the installation is complete, we need to set environment variables.

1. Right-click this PC on the desktop and select Properties.
2. In the left pane, click Advanced system settings.
3. In the pop-up window, click the "Environment Variables" button.
4. In "User Variables" or "System Variables", find the PATH variable and click "Edit".
5. In the "Edit Environment Variables" dialog box, click the "New" button.
6. In the "New User Variable" or "New System Variable" dialog box, type the variable name "GOPATH", and the variable value is any directory you choose.

After completing the above settings, we can install Gin.

1. Open the command prompt.
2. Type the following command and press Enter:

go get -u github.com/gin-gonic/gin

The go get command will download and install Gin from GitHub. The -u flag will ensure you are using the latest version.

After the download and installation are completed, you can import Gin into your project and start using it.

Linux

In a Linux environment, we also need to install Go first.

1. Open a terminal and type the following command to add the official Go repository:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:longsleep/golang-backports

2. Then type the following command to update the repository list:

sudo apt-get update

3. Finally, type the following command to install Go:

sudo apt-get install golang-go

After completing the above operations, we can install Gin.

1. Open a terminal and type the following command:

go get -u github.com/gin-gonic/gin

As in a Windows environment, the -u flag ensures that you are using the latest version.

After the download and installation is complete, you can import Gin and start using it.
