# Linux Installation Cheatsheet
|
|
|
|
If you want to use snap, you can easily install Go like so:
|
|
|
|
sudo snap install go --classic
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, please follow the steps below:
|
|
|
|
## 1. Update the local packages
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 2. Install git
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get install git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 3. Install Go
|
|
|
|
There are two ways:
|
|
|
|
1- From Web: Select Linux and the download will begin.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
firefox https://golang.org/dl
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2- By using snap: If you use this option, skip to the 5th step.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo snap install go --classic
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 4. Copy Go into the proper directory
|
|
|
|
1. Find out the name of the downloaded file
|
|
|
|
2. Use that filename to uncompress it
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
gofile="DELETE_THIS_AND_TYPE_THE_NAME_OF_THE_DOWNLOADED_FILE_HERE (without its extension)"
|
|
|
|
tar -C /usr/local -xzf ~/Downloads/$gofile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 5. Add Go executables directory to your PATH
|
|
|
|
1. Add `go/bin` directory to `$PATH` to be able to run the fundamental Go commands.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin' >> ~/.profile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Add "$HOME/go/bin" directory to $PATH
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/go/bin' >> ~/.profile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install Go Tools:
|
|
|
|
* These are very handy tools to ease the development (like goimports)
|
|
|
|
* `go get` cannot be used without installing a code versioning program like Git which we already have got it above.
|
|
|
|
* This will create `~/go` directory and will download go tools into there.
|
|
|
|
* This directory is also a place where you should put your code into.
|
|
(If you're not going to use Go Modules)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
go get -v -u golang.org/x/tools/...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install VSCode
|
|
|
|
Note: You may use another coding editor if you like. However, the course uses Visual Studio Code (VSCode).
|
|
|
|
1. Open "Ubuntu Software" application
|
|
|
|
2. Search for VSCode then click "Install"
|
|
|
|
|
|
## OPTIONAL STEP:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a hello.go inside `$GOPATH/src`
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cat <<EOF > $GOPATH/src/hello.go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import "fmt"
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
fmt.Println("hello gopher!")
|
|
}
|
|
EOF
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Go to Go source directory and run our sample program
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd $GOPATH/src
|
|
go run hello.go
|
|
It should print: hello gopher!
|
|
```
