UNIX/Linux/Mac OS X, and FreeBSD Installation
The following describes how to install from source on UNIX/Linux/Mac OS X, and FreeBSD systems:
1. Download the binary package: go1.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz.
2. Extract the downloaded binary package to the /usr/local directory.
tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz
3. Add the /usr/local/go/bin directory to the PATH environment variable:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
The above only temporarily adds PATH; it will be gone after closing the terminal and logging in next time.
We can edit ~/.bash_profile or /etc/profile, and add the following command to the end of the file, so it takes effect permanently:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
After adding, you need to execute:
source ~/.bash_profile 或 source /etc/profile
Note:On MAC systems you can use.pkgDouble-click the installation package ending with to complete the installation; the installation directory is at/usr/local/go/Download.
Installation on Windows systems
On Windows, you can install using the package with the .msi suffix (you can find this file in the download list, such as go1.4.2.windows-amd64.msi).
By default.msiFiles will be installed in thec:\Godirectory. You canc:\Go\binAdd the directory toPathIn the environment variables. After adding it, you need to restart the command window for it to take effect.
Installation test
Create working directoryC:\>Go_WorkSpace。
The test.go file code:
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Println("Hello, World!")
}
Using the go command to execute the above code outputs the following result:
C:\Go_WorkSpace>go run test.go Hello, World!other extensions
