• Download

  Download Address

  • https://golang.org/dl/
  • Http://www.golangtc.com/download

  Tips

  • Note System version: Select a download source labeled Windows
  • Note the number of digits: Select 32 bits (corresponding number 386) or 64 bits (corresponding number AMD64) according to the actual number of digits of your system
  • Note suffixes: Versions with the format ". msi" can be installed directly, compared to recommended.

  The version I chose is go1.7.windows-amd64.msi

• Installation

  Run the installation directly after downloading ". msi" .
  Note the installation path, the default location is c:\go

• Configuring Environment variables

  Process

  • Add c:\go\bin at the end of the system variable path
  • Create a new system variable Gorootand set the value to C:\Go

  Tips

  • The variable address is related to the installation location of Go, please adjust it according to the actual installation path.
  • When Go is installed, the relevant environment variable configuration has been completed automatically. Manual configuration is not required at this time.

• Inspection

  The win key +r key to start the Run window and enter cmd to open the command line tool.
  Enter goat the prompt.
  If you see a message similar to the following, the installation is successful.
  

Go Project path settings

• Setup method

  Create a new system variable Gopath, and set the value to the work item path you want to set.
  For example, it can be set to "G:\GoProj"

• Project Composition Description

  The project path is divided into three folders:src,bin,pkg

  • SRC Storage Project source code;
  • Pkg to store the compiled files generated;
  • The bin holds the compiled executable file;

• Inspection

  The win key +r key to start the Run window and enter cmd to open the command line tool.
  Enter the go env at the prompt
  You can see if the gopath path setting was successful.

IDE Installation and Configuration

There are many Ides that support go language development and can be selected according to your preferences.
The installation configuration process for Sublime Text 3 with gosublime,gobuild , and Gocode is described here.

  Tips
  -Sublime Text 2 and Sublime text 3 configuration details slightly different
  - Sublime Text 3is recommended, but the configuration of Sublime Text 2 is also mentioned below
  

• Installation of package management tools

  Installation method

  • Reference http://blog.csdn.net/sysu_cm/article/details/52583731

• Installing the Gosublime Plugin

  Steps

  • Open Sublime Text 3
  • Use the shortcut key Ctrl + SHIFT + P to open the package management tool
  • Enter Pcipin the Open input field, you will see the full control:installpackage displayed in the prompt area, enter Gosublime, and confirm the carriage return installation

• Installing the Gobuild Plugin

  Steps

  • Open Sublime Text 3 (Make sure it is open)
  • Use the shortcut key Ctrl + SHIFT + P to open the package management tool
  • Enter Pcipin the Open input field and enter Gobuild to confirm the carriage return installation

• Installing the Gocode Plugin
  The Gocode plugin can add the GO code hint function to sublime Text 3.

  Premise

  • You need to install a git client and skip the "Install Git method" section if it is already installed

  Installing the Git method

  1. Windowsgit Download Address: http://msysgit.github.io/
  2. Install after download, default installation path: C:\Program files\git
  3. When the installation is complete, configure the environment:
     
     • Add C:\Program files\git\bin after the system variable path
     • Add C:\Program files\git\mingw64\libexec\git-core after the system variable path

  Installing the Gocode plug-in method

  • The win key +r key to start the Run window and enter cmd to open the command line tool
  • Enter go get-u github.com/nsf/gocode at the prompt
  • After get (without any hint, when the prompt appears again, then get done)
  • Enter go install Github.com/nsf/gocode at the prompt
    -If there is no error message, install it successfully. Otherwise, check to see if your computer's Git client is fully installed

  Tips

  When the
  • git client installs the configuration environment variable, the setting of the value is related to the specific installation location and the version path, which is adjusted according to the actual configuration. For example, some people may have Git-core locations in D:\Program Files\git\libexec\git-core;
  • when installing the Gocode plug-in, no information output is normal. When the instruction input is submitted, the prompt will be hidden (execution phase), please be patient, and when the prompt reappears, it indicates that the instruction has been completed.

• Set the Go nonstandard library hint
  to make sublime Text 3 support code hints for nonstandard library packages, you must set the Gopath variable into the configuration file.

  setting method

  • open settings-default, copy all contents
  • paste content to Settings -User, to avoid frequent configuration changes due to plug-in upgrade
  • at the end of Settings-user, add the following:
    

     " env ": [{" Goroot ": " C:\\go ", " Gopath ": " G:\\goproj " }]  

  Tips
  If you are using sublime Text 2, you need to add the following:

   " env ": {" Goroot ": " C:\\go ", " Gopath " :  "g:\\goproj" }  

Test the development environment

Next we will run a small program to verify that the above configuration process is feasible.

1. New code file
   
   • Create a new file "Hello.go"under the SRC folder of the project path and edit the following:
     
2. Run the program
   
   • Using the shortcut key ctrl+b to open the sublime command line, enter go run hello.goat the prompt to see:
     
3. Compiling the build ". exe" program
   
   • Use the shortcut key ctrl+b to open the sublime command line, enter go build hello.goat the prompt, and see the resulting executable file under the Bin folder of the project path.
