How to install Go for Linux

The Go language, also known as golang, is an open-source programming language originally developed by Google. It follows the three principles of simplicity, security, and speed. The Go language provides a variety of debugging, testing, analysis, and code review tools. Currently, the Go language and tool are provided in the source library of most Linux releases, this article describes how to install the Go language in Linux.

Install Go in Ubuntu, Debian, or Linux Mint

Debian-based Linux versions can all be installed using the apt-get command:

1. Sudo apt-get install golang

To view the Go language version installed on the current system, run the following command:

1. Go version

Since the Go code must be saved in the workspace, we must ~ /Workspace) create a workspace directory and define the GOPATH environment variable pointing to this directory. This directory will be used by the Go tool to save and edit binary files.

1. Mkdir ~ /Workspace
2. Echo 'export GOPATH = "$ HOME/workspace" '> ~ /. Bashrc
3. Source ~ /. Bashrc

You can use apt-get to install Go tools as needed:

1. Sudo apt-cache search golang

Install Go language for Fedora, CentOS, or RHEL

Red Hat-based Linux versions can all be installed using the yum command:

1. Sudo yum install golang

To view the Go language version installed on the current system, run the following command:

1. Go version

In the Home directory (for example ~ /Workspace) create a workspace directory and define the GOPATH environment variable pointing to this directory. This directory will be used by the Go tool to save and edit binary files.

1. Mkdir ~ /Workspace
2. Echo 'export GOPATH = "$ HOME/workspace" '> ~ /. Bashrc
3. Source ~ /. Bashrc

We can use yum to install Go tools according to different needs:

1. Yum search golang

32-bit Linux

1. Wget http://www.golangtc.com/static/go/go1.4.2.linux-386.tar.gz

Golang download

2. decompress the binary file to the/usr/local directory.

1. Sudo tar-xzf go1.4.2.linux-xxx.tar.gz-C/usr/local

3. Use vi to add the following content to the environment variable configuration file/etc/profile:

1. Export PATH = $ PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

4. Check the Go language version.

1. Go version

5 define GOPATH environment variables to the workspace directory

1. Export GOPATH = "$ HOME/workspace
