Before you can write your first line of Go code, you’ll need to set up the environment. Let’s start off with installing Go. The latest version of Go as of this writing is Go 1.6. To install Go, you can either download or use the official binary distributions, or you can install Go from source.
Official binary distributions are available for FreeBSD (release 8 and above), Linux (2.6.23 and above), Mac OS X (Snow Leopard and above), and Windows (XP and above).
