How to install GoLang in Windows

GoLang is a very popular programming language that can be used to build a variety of different applications and services, including web applications, mobile applications, and back-end API services. In this article, we will explain how to install GoLang on Windows.

First, you need to go to the GoLang official website (https://golang.org/dl/) to download the latest version of the GoLang installation file. Please note that you need to download the version corresponding to your operating system architecture. For example, if you are using a 64-bit operating system, you will need to download the 64-bit version of GoLang.

Once the download is complete, double-click the installation file to open the installation wizard. Follow the wizard's instructions until the installation is complete. By default, GoLang will be installed in the root directory of the C drive.

To do this, press the Win R shortcut key combination to open the Run dialog box and enter the "sysdm.cpl" command to open the System Properties dialog box. Then, click the Advanced tab, and under Environment Variables, click the New button to add a new environment variable.

Enter "GOPATH" in the "Variable Name" field, and then enter the path where you choose to place your Go code in the "Variable Value" field. For example, you can place the Go code in the "Go" folder of the D drive directory, then you need to enter "D:\Go" in the "Variable Value".

Next, you need to add the bin directory of the GoLang installation directory to the system environment variable "PATH". The default installation path is "C:\Go\bin", you can add this path to the system environment variable, or add your own GoLang installation path.

After completing these steps, you need to restart any open terminals. You can then check whether GoLang is installed correctly via the command line. To do this, open the Run dialog box by pressing the Win R shortcut key combination and enter the "cmd" command to open the command prompt.

In the command prompt, enter the "go version" command and you will see the output showing the currently installed GoLang version number. This indicates that you have successfully installed and configured GoLang.
