Go Compiler Installation

Install Go compiler on Linux for Go project development, compilation, and testing.

Use Cases

• Go project development
• Running unit tests
• Compiling Go programs

Installation Steps

1. Check System Architecture

uname -m
# x86_64 = amd64
# aarch64 = arm64

2. Download and Install

amd64 (x86_64):

cd /tmp
curl -LO https://go.dev/dl/go1.22.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -xzf go1.22.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz
mv go ~/go-sdk
rm go1.22.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz

arm64 (aarch64):

cd /tmp
curl -LO https://go.dev/dl/go1.22.0.linux-arm64.tar.gz
tar -xzf go1.22.0.linux-arm64.tar.gz
mv go ~/go-sdk
rm go1.22.0.linux-arm64.tar.gz

3. Configure Environment Variables

export PATH=$PATH:~/go-sdk/bin
export GOPATH=~/go
export GOROOT=~/go-sdk

4. Persist Configuration

Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:~/go-sdk/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export GOPATH=~/go' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export GOROOT=~/go-sdk' >> ~/.bashrc

5. Verify Installation

go version
go env GOPATH GOROOT

Common Commands

# Run tests
go test ./...

# Run tests with verbose output
go test ./... -v

# Build project
go build -o <output> ./cmd/<entry>

# Download dependencies
go mod download

# Tidy dependencies
go mod tidy

Resource Requirements

Notes

1. Go has no runtime dependencies, single binary
2. Extremely fast compilation, ideal for CI/CD
3. Recommended to use LTS version (e.g., 1.22.x)
4. GOPATH directory is auto-created
