There are many ways to configure the Go development environment on your computer, you can choose any one you like. The three most common ways are as follows.
1、Official installation packages
The Go team provides convenient installation packages in Windows, Linux, Mac
and other operating systems. The easiest way to get started.
2、Install from source code
Popular with developers who are familiar with Unix-like systems.
3、Use third-party tools
There are many third-party tools and package managers for installing Go, like apt-
get in Ubuntu and homebrew for Mac.
In case you want to install more than one version of Go in one computer, you should take a look at the tool called GVM. It is the best tool I’ve seen so far for achieving this job, otherwise you have to know how to deal with this problem by yourself.
第一種安裝方法
Using GVM
Make sure to install pre-requisite libraries first
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install curl git mercurial make binutils bison gcc
Install GVM
bash < <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/moovweb/gvm/master/binscripts/gvm-installer)
Install Go
gvm install go1.2
gvm use go1.1.2 [–default]
gvm list
第二種安裝方法
Install Go Binary
Install required libraries
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties # 12.04
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:duh/golang
sudo apt-get update
Install Go
sudo apt-get install golang
export the settings you’re gonna need to bash_rc or equivalent:
export GOROOT=/usr/lib/go
export GOBIN=/usr/bin/g
第三種安裝方法
From Source
Dependencies
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc make mercurial git libc6-de
Building from source
hg clone -u release https://code.google.com/p/go
cdgo/src cd go/src
./all.bas
The GOPATH environment variable
Go commands all rely on one important environment variable which is called GOPATH.NoticethatthisisnottheGOPATH. Notice that this is not the GOROOT where Go is installed. This variable points to the workspace of Go in your computer. (I use this path in my computer, if you don’t have the same directory structure, please replace by yourself.)
export GOPATH=HOME/gocodeexportPATH=HOME/gocode
export PATH=PATH:$GOPATH/bin
Note:- If your Go version is greater than 1.0, you don’t have to set GOBIN,anditwillautomaticallyberelatedtoyourGOBIN, and it will automatically be related to your GOROOT/bin, which we will talk about in the next section
You can install any of the above three way. I mostly prefer using GVM. I hope it will help you.!
