How to install the Golang environment under Windows/Mac/Linux and other operating systems

With the rapid development of Internet technology, various programming languages have also emerged. Among them, as a new generation of statically compiled language, Golang (Go for short) has attracted much attention because of its efficiency, ease of use, good scalability and concurrency. This article will introduce in detail how to install the Golang environment under Windows, Mac, Linux and other operating systems. I hope it will be helpful to beginners.

1. Install Golang on Windows

1. Download the Golang installation package

First enter the official website of Golang (https://golang.org/dl/ ) Download the installation package that matches your system version. It is generally recommended to download the 64-bit version of Golang.

2. Install Golang

Open the downloaded .exe file and follow the prompts to complete the installation.

3. Set the GOPATH environment variable

During the development process of Golang, you need to set the GOPATH environment variable. Under Windows system, you can follow the following steps to set:

(1) Open "Control Panel"->"System and Security"->"System".

(2) Select "Advanced System Settings" in the left navigation bar, and the "System Properties" dialog box will pop up.

(3) Select the "Advanced" tab in the dialog box and create a new system variable GOPATH under "Environment Variables" with the value being the working directory (for example: D:\Go_projects).

4. Test whether the Golang installation is successful

In the Windows system, press the "Windows R" key, enter cmd in the pop-up dialog box, and open the command line. Enter in the command line:

go version

If the Golang version information is output, it means the installation is successful.

2. Install Golang on MacOS

1. Install Homebrew

In MacOS, it is recommended to use Homebrew (package management system) to install Golang. Enter the following command in Terminal to install Homebrew:

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

2. Use Homebrew to install Golang

Enter the following command in Terminal to install Golang:

brew install go

3. Set the GOPATH environment Variables

The way to set the GOPATH environment variable in MacOS is similar to that in Windows. Enter the following command in Terminal:

export GOPATH=$HOME/Go_projects

4. Test whether the Golang installation is successful

Enter the command in Terminal:

go version

If the version information is output, it means the installation is successful.

3. Install Golang on Linux

1. Download the Golang installation package

In Linux, you can also go to Golang’s official website (https://golang. org/dl/) to download the installation package suitable for your system version.

2. Extract the installation package

In Terminal, enter the following command to decompress the installation package:

tar -C /usr/local -xzf go*. {tar.gz,zip}

3. Set GOROOT and GOPATH environment variables

Enter the following commands in Terminal to set GOROOT and GOPATH environment variables:

export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
export GOPATH=$HOME/Go_projects
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin

4. Test whether Golang is installed Success

Enter the command in Terminal:

go version

If the version information is output, the installation is successful.

Summary

Golang is an easy-to-use and efficient programming language. It is not difficult to learn, but it is necessary to install the Golang environment on your computer. This article introduces in detail how to install Golang under Windows, MacOS, Linux and other systems. Now you can successfully install and start learning Golang according to your own system environment.
