How to install Golang on iPad and develop

In recent years, Golang (or Go), a representative lightweight programming language in the IT field, has attracted much attention and praise for its excellent performance and efficient development experience. Many programmers want to install Golang on the iPad so that they can develop code anytime and anywhere using a portable and powerful device.

However, unlike other computers, the iPad Apple system is more closed and restricted and does not support directly running executable files (i.e. .exe files), but don’t worry, this article will introduce how to install Golang on iPad and develop.

Step One: Install Termius

Installing Termius is to connect to a remote virtual machine or server for development in the iPad terminal. Search and download Termius on the App Store. After installation, you need to log in to your remote server through a username and password or SSH key.

Step 2: Install Golang

Installing Golang on iPad requires connecting to the remote server via SSH, and then downloading and installing Golang on the server. First log in to the server:

ssh username@yourserver.com

Go to the /usr/local directory and download Golang related files.

cd /usr/local
sudo curl -O https://dl.google.com/go/go1.11.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz

After the file is downloaded, unzip the file and rename it to go.

sudo tar -xvf go1.11.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv go go-1.11.4

After the installation is successful, enter the go version command on the command line to check whether the installation is successful.

go version

The output result is "go version go1.11.4 linux/amd64" which means the installation is successful.

Step 3: Configure environment variables

Now, we have installed Golang on the server, but we need to set the environment variables to make it effective.

Open the ~/.bashrc file (or ~/.zshrc file) in the command line for editing, and add the following content to the end of the file:

export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export GOBIN=$GOPATH/bin
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go-1.11.4/bin:$GOBIN

Log out of the server, and then log in again.

Step 4: Test

At this point, you can successfully install Golang on your iPad. To confirm that the installation was successful, we will test whether it works properly.

Enter the following code in the command line:

mkdir ~/go/src/hello
cd ~/go/src/hello
touch main.go

Use a text editor to open the main.go file and add the following code:

package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
    fmt.Println("Hello world!")
}

After saving the code, in the terminal Enter the following command in the command line:

go build

If no errors or warnings are generated, it means that our Golang installation is successful and we can smoothly develop, run and debug Go code on the iPad.

In summary, although installing Golang on iPad requires some additional steps, as long as you follow the above steps, learning and developing Golang is no longer subject to time and space constraints. I believe this article will be very useful to programmers who are looking for ways to install Golang on iPad.
