For Windows users, the Go Project offers two installation options (except for source installation): The ZIP compression pack requires you to set up some environment variables, and the experimental MSI installer automatically configures your installation.

MSI installation program

Open the MSI file and follow the prompts to install the Go tool. By default, the installer puts the Go release into C:\Go.

This installer should place the C:\Go\bin directory in your PATH environment variable. For this change to take effect, you will need to restart all open command lines.

ZIP Archive Package

Download this zip file and extract it to your directory (our recommendation is C:\Go):

If you select a directory other than C:\Go, you must set the GOROOT environment variable for the path you selected.

Add the bin subdirectory (for example, C:\Go\bin) in your Go root directory to your PATH environment variable.

Install using a compressed package. Bark finishing.

1. Download, unzip to the computer:
