Go, often referred to as Golang, is an open-source programming language developed by Google. It is widely used for its simplicity, efficiency, and robust concurrency support. This guide will walk you through the steps to install Go on your AlmaLinux 8.10 system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before you begin, ensure you have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, update your system to ensure all existing packages are up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ sudo dnf update -y<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nStep 2: Download Go Binary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Visit the official Go downloads page<\/a> to find the latest version of Go. You can use wget<\/code> to download the Go tarball directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n$ wget https:\/\/golang.org\/dl\/go1.20.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nReplace go1.20.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz<\/code> with the version you want to install.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 3: Extract the Archive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Extract the downloaded tarball to the \/usr\/local<\/code> directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n$ sudo tar -C \/usr\/local -xzf go1.20.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nStep 4: Set Up Go Environment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Next, you need to set up the Go environment variables. Add the following lines to your shell profile file (~\/.bashrc<\/code>, ~\/.zshrc<\/code>, etc.) to set up the Go environment variables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n$ echo "export PATH=$PATH:\/usr\/local\/go\/bin" >> ~\/.bashrc\n$ source ~\/.bashrc<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nThis adds Go’s binary directory to your system’s PATH<\/code>, enabling you to run Go commands from any terminal session.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 5: Verify the Installation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To verify that Go has been installed correctly, check its version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ go version<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nYou should see output similar to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ go version go1.20.3 linux\/amd64<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nStep 6: Create a Go Workspace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Go encourages a specific workspace structure. By default, your Go workspace should be in your home directory. Create a directory named go<\/code> and subdirectories for your Go projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n$ mkdir -p ~\/go\/{bin,src,pkg}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n\nsrc<\/code>: contains your Go source files<\/li>\n\n\n\npkg<\/code>: contains package objects<\/li>\n\n\n\nbin<\/code>: contains executable commands<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nStep 7: Write a Simple Go Program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To verify that everything is working correctly, you can create and run a simple Go program. First, create a new directory for your project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ mkdir -p ~\/go\/src\/hello\n$ cd ~\/go\/src\/hello<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nCreate a new Go file named hello.go<\/code> and add the following content:<\/p>\n\n\n\npackage main\n\nimport "fmt"\n\nfunc main() {\n fmt.Println("Hello, World!")\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nSave and exit the text editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 8: Build and Run the Go Program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Navigate to your project directory and use the go run<\/code> command to build and run your program.<\/p>\n\n\n\ngo run hello.go<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nYou should see the output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hello, World!<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nConclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
