Configure Golang Development Environment on Ubuntu 14.04

Golang is a programming language launched by Google 10 years ago. Currently, the latest version 1.4 has officially started to support Android development, and Golang is also a Docker development language.

This document describes how to set up the Golang Language Development Environment on Ubuntu 14.04.1 64bit.

Install Golang

Download the latest stable version from the official website:

wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.4.linux-amd64.tar.gzsudo tar -xzf go1.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz -C /usr/local

Configure environment variables and usesudo vim /etc/profileAnd add the following content:

GOPATH="/YOUR/USER/HOME/go"GOROOT="/usr/local/go"PATH=$GOROOT/bin:$PATH

GOPATH is the Development Directory of Golang. According to the instructions in the official documentation, a fixed directory structure is required:

GOPATH=/home/user/gocode/home/user/gocode/    src/        foo/            bar/               (go code in package bar)                x.go            quux/              (go code in package main)                y.go    bin/        quux                   (installed command)    pkg/        linux_amd64/            foo/                bar.a          (installed package object)

Install LiteIDE

To facilitate debugging or get used to IDE, LiteIDE is Golang's integrated development environment, but requires the dependent libraries of Qt 4.8. You can select Source code compilation or directly download the compiled version from sourceforge.net.

Environment Test

Confirm the deployment of the development environment by using a simple example.srcCreate a project directory in the Directory recommended by objective go and create a new source file hello_world.go. Enter the following content:

package mainimport "fmt"func main(){    fmt.Println("hello world!")}

The package management is a bit like JAVA:

• UsepackageKeyword defines the package name.
• UseimportIntroductionfmtPackage.
• UsefuncKeyword-defined functions.
• The entry function of the program ismainFunction.
• CallfmtInPrintlnFunction print output.

Open the file in Sublime Text and useCtrl + BStart the Console and entergo helpLet's take a look at the parameter description of the go compiler, and then enter the following command to run this example in interpreted mode:

go run hello_world.go
