Download the compressed package

$ wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.8.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Unzip the file, the default go path under/usr/local, create a go structure in/usr/local/go.

Format: Tar-c/usr/local-xzf go$version. $OS-$ARCH. tar.gz

It can also be obtained by other means, where I use the 1.8 version.

https://golang.org/dl/

Download the compressed package

# wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.8.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Unzip the file, the default go path under/usr/local, create a go structure in/usr/local/go.

# tar -C /usr/local -xzvf go1.8.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz

You can see that the directory is already installed /usr/local/go :

Adding environment variables

The go binary version will be installed /usr/local/go , but you can install the Go tool to another location. In this case, you must set the GOROOT environment variable to point to the installation directory.

To create the Gopath directory:

# mkdir -pv /app/gopath

Add this to the Global environment variable

# vim /etc/profile...export GOROOT=/usr/local/goexport PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

Save the file.

SOURCE re-reads the/etc/profile so that its configuration takes effect.

# source /etc/profile

Test

Review the version and check that the environment variables are correct:

# go versiongo version go1.8.3 linux/amd64

Check that go is installed correctly by setting up the workspace and building a simple program, as shown below.

# mkdir -pv  /app/gopath/src/hello# cd /app/gopath/src/hello# vim hello.go

Code content is as follows

# cat hello.go hello.go package mainimport "fmt"func main() {    fmt.Printf("hello, world\n")}package mainimport "fmt"func main() {    fmt.Printf("hello, world\n")}

To build a program using the Go tool (compile packages and dependencies):

# go build# lltotal 1528-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1560062 Aug 12 10:08 hello-rw-r--r-- 1 root root      77 Aug 12 10:06 hello.go

The above command will build an executable named Hello in the directory next to your source code. Here we perform a look at the output:

# ./hello hello, world

You can now see the normal output ' Hello, world '.

The installation of the environment ends.
