Install Go

Select the installation package (. tar.gz file) that matches your system from the download address, my Elemenray OS 32 bit, I chose go1.6.linux-386.tar.gz
After downloading, cd go to the download directory and use the command

-xzf go1.6.linux-386.tar.-C /usr/local

Most of the methods on the Internet are extracted to /usr/local/ , but I myself in the back Vscode install the Go plugin often encountered a permission error, causing the plug-in cannot be installed, so it is recommended to install under the user home directory

sudo tar -xzf go1.6.linux-386.tar.gz -C /home/kingeasternsun

export GOROOT=/home/kingeasternsun/goexport GOBIN=/home/kingeasternsun/go/binexport PATH=$PATH:$GOBINexport GOPATH=/home/kingeasternsun/goproject

To ensure that Vscode installs the Go plugin successfully, set the following
