Setting Up the Environment

INFO

This section covers installing the Go development environment, for readers setting up Go for the first time. For IDE configuration, see IDE Setup.

Readers who already have Go set up can go straight to Quick Start.

1. Download

Official download page: https://golang.org/dl/ — pick the build for your OS; the latest version is downloaded by default:

2. Install

The Go site provides platform-specific install instructions at https://golang.org/doc/install — just follow them.

INFO

If you're not sure which one to grab, the "Go Download" prompt on the page below points at the right package for your system.

Double-click the downloaded installer and follow the steps:

That's it — Go is installed.

3. Verify

Check the Go version:

sh
$ go version
go version go1.26.5 darwin/arm64

This confirms the install worked — go1.26.5 darwin/arm64 here, since this was run on macOS (hence darwin). The string reflects whatever OS you're on; Windows and Linux will show something different.

WARNING

go-admin requires Go 1.26 or later, per the go directive in the repository's go.mod. An older version fails outright at the go build step.

WARNING
