Install GOLANG on UNIX

Steps:
=======

  • Get the current archive from the list at - https://golang.org/dl/
  • Untar it . For example 
    • tar xvf  go1.3.3.src.tar.gz
  • A new directory of "go" will be generated.
  • cd to go/src
  • run all.bash
    • ./all.bash
  • Now the go binary will be generated at the go/bin directory.( check whether go and gofmt binaries are generated or not)
  • Open the file ~/.bashrc
  • Add the PATH variable with the bin directory to your .bashrc file at the end like
    • #PATH=$PATH:/home/arun/Documents/GITHUB/golan/go/bin
  • Save the file.
  • Now we can run a go file directly. 
  • Write a hello.go using any editor. For example
    • vim hello.go
    • press i for insert
    • copy the code below from here.
package main
import "fmt"
func main(){
fmt.Printf("Hi How r u\n")
}
    • press the ctrl+shift+v to copy the file to termival vim.
    • press esc and :wq to write and quit.
    • to run the code try 
      • go run hello.go
    • If everything went right you will see the "Hi How r u" statement on terminal.
  • Thats it!
