---
|
||
|
|
### Windows

||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### OS X
|
||
|

|
||
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Linux
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Ubuntu
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Ubuntu repositories carry an old version of Go.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ubuntu users can use the 'gophers' PPA to install an up to date version of Go (version 1.7 or later is preferred).
|
||
|
|
See https://launchpad.net/~gophers/+archive/ubuntu/archive for more information.
|
||
|
|
Note that this PPA requires adding `/usr/lib/go-1.X/bin` to the executable PATH.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Other distros
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Download the latest distribution
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.7.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unpack it to the `/usr/local` (might require sudo)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.7.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Set GOPATH and PATH
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For Go to work properly, you need to set the following two environment variables:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Setup a go folder `mkdir -p ~/go; echo "export GOPATH=$HOME/go" >> ~/.bashrc`
|
||
|
|
- Update your path `echo "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/go/bin:/usr/local/go/bin" >> ~/.bashrc`
|
||
|
|
- Read the environment variables into current session: `source ~/.bashrc`
