								### Installing Go in Mac OS X using a tarball
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								#### Link to tarball
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								You can get the link to the Mac OS tarball archive from the Latest Stable section of the [golang download page](https://golang.org/dl/).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								#### Installation Process
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								> In this installation process we'll use the latest stable version as of this writing (go 1.9.1). For a newer or older version simply replace the link in the first step. Check the [golang download page](https://golang.org/dl/) to see what versions are currently available.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								##### Installing Go 1.9.1
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								$ curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.9.1.darwin-amd64.tar.gz
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								$ sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.9.1.darwin-amd64.tar.gz
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								#### Check installation and version of go
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								To check if go was successfully installed, use:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```sh
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								$ go version
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								This should print to the console the version of go, while at the same time making sure the installation went smoothly.
