Go Language Runtime Package installation

Download Address:

Https://code.google.com/p/go/downloads/list

I downloaded: go1.0.3 Mac OS X (x86 64-bit) signed PKG installer

Go1.0.3.darwin-amd64-signed.pkg

Install directly when the download is complete. The run package is automatically installed in/usr/local/go so that the go command can be run at the command terminal.

When you enter go at the command line, you will see the following message:

Cybercarematomacbook-pro:ios cybercare$ Go
Go is a tool for managing go source code.

Usage:

The commands are:

Use the "Go help [command]" For more information about a command.

Additional Help Topics:

Gopath gopath environment variable
Packages description of the package lists
Remote Remote import path syntax
Testflag Description of testing flags
TestFunc Description of testing functions

Use ' Go help [topic] ' For more information on that topic.

In/usr/local/go/misc, you can see that there are many editor versions under which you can automatically configure different editors to develop the go language.

Methods to check whether the installation was successful

Create a new file Hello.go with the following contents:

Package Main

Import "FMT"

Func Main () {
Fmt. Printf ("Hello, world\n")
}

Executing go run hello.go on the command line should receive the following information:

Go Run hello.go
Hello, world

This means that go is installed properly.

If there is a problem with your environment variable and an error:
Type Go env
Take a look at the environment variables for Go

Settings for development tools

There are many development tools to choose from, and here I choose Liteide,liteide is an integrated development environment (IDE) specifically developed for the go language.

Download Address: Https://code.google.com/p/golangide/downloads/list

I downloaded: liteidex16.macosx-10.6-webkit.dmg

Project home: Http://code.google.com/p/golangide
Project Source: Http://code.google.com/p/liteide
Discussion group: Http://groups.google.com/group/liteide-dev
Download Link: http://code.google.com/p/golangide/downloads/list
Update Record: Http://code.google.com/p/golangide/wiki/changes

When installing, remember to drag the app from the DMG file to the app, and the configuration file cannot be modified in DMG.

When opening liteide, take a look at the tips of the package browse here, if it is the following way:

The typical reason is that the Goroot global variable is not configured. We need to modify the global settings, the default Goroot address is $HOME/go

We are installed here in/usr/local/go, obviously not, need to modify, modify and Refresh package Browse.

Refresh Package browsing. Until you see a similar way:

Once configured, performing with the default code will result in normal results.
