Installation guidelines for OSX.

WE'LL COVER THE FOLLOWING

• Homebrew
• Setup your paths
• Install mercurial and bazaar

Homebrew #
The easiest way to install Go for development on OS X is to use homebrew.

Using Terminal.app install homebrew:

$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Once homebrew is installed, install Go to be able to crosscompile:

$ brew install go --cross-compile-common

In just a few minutes, go should be all installed and you should be almost
ready to code. However we need to do two small things before we start:

Setup your paths #


By convention, all your Go code and the code you will import, will live inside a
workspace. This convention might seem rigid at first, but it quickly becomes
clear that such a convention (like most Go conventions) makes our life much
easier.

Before starting, we need to tell Go, where we want our workspace to be, in
other words, where our code will live. Let’s create a folder named “go” in our
home directory and set our environment to use this location.

$ mkdir $HOME/go
$ export GOPATH=$HOME/go

Note that if we open a new tab or restart our machine, Go won’t know where
to find our workspace. For that, you need to set the export in your profile:

$ open $HOME/.bash_profile

Add a new entry to set GOPATH and add the workspace’s bin folder to your
system path:

export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

This will allow your Go workspace to always be set and will allow you to call
the binaries you compiled.

Install mercurial and bazaar #


Optionally but highly recommended, you should install mercurial and bazaar
so you can retrieve 3rd party libraries hosted using these version control
systems.

$ brew install hg bzr
