Hi, I just set up my new golang programming in Windows. so exciting to write this blog.
Software needs:
Golang programming
vs code
Golang extenstions
Phase 1: Install the following in this order
We have the current best version in.exe file on golang official website. During this post go version is go1.18.3.windows-amd64. https://go.dev/dl/
Just Download it.
Execute .exe file
Click Next… Next… Next… Just Install Go Programming file
Phase 2: Add GOPATH
Setting -> About -> Advanced system settings -> environment variables -> PATH -> New -> add Path ex:(C:\Program Files\Go\bin)
Phase 3: Test Golang
Execute Cmd
go -h
Phase 4: Create folder in Gopath/src
Add that folder vs code and init go mod
go mod init example.com/hello
It is just like the nodejs package. we can add go modules in project.
Ex:
Create main.go
package main; func main(){ fmt.Println("Hello"); }
main.go
Terminal:
cd filepath
go run main.go
