# Go Compiler Installation
Install Go compiler on Linux for Go project development, compilation, and testing.
## Use Cases
- Go project development
- Running unit tests
- Compiling Go programs
## Installation Steps
### 1. Check System Architecture
```bash
uname -m
# x86_64 = amd64
# aarch64 = arm64
```
### 2. Download and Install
**amd64 (x86_64):**
```bash
cd /tmp
curl -LO https://go.dev/dl/go1.22.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -xzf go1.22.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz
mv go ~/go-sdk
rm go1.22.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz
```
**arm64 (aarch64):**
```bash
cd /tmp
curl -LO https://go.dev/dl/go1.22.0.linux-arm64.tar.gz
tar -xzf go1.22.0.linux-arm64.tar.gz
mv go ~/go-sdk
rm go1.22.0.linux-arm64.tar.gz
```
### 3. Configure Environment Variables
```bash
export PATH=$PATH:~/go-sdk/bin
export GOPATH=~/go
export GOROOT=~/go-sdk
```
### 4. Persist Configuration
Add to `~/.bashrc` or `~/.profile`:
```bash
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:~/go-sdk/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export GOPATH=~/go' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export GOROOT=~/go-sdk' >> ~/.bashrc
```
### 5. Verify Installation
```bash
go version
go env GOPATH GOROOT
```
## Common Commands
```bash
# Run tests
go test ./...
# Run tests with verbose output
go test ./... -v
# Build project
go build -o <output> ./cmd/<entry>
# Download dependencies
go mod download
# Tidy dependencies
go mod tidy
```
## Resource Requirements
| Item | Value |
|------|-------|
| Download Size | ~65MB |
| Extracted Size | ~300MB |
| Memory | 512MB minimum |
| CPU | Single core sufficient |
## Notes
1. Go has no runtime dependencies, single binary
2. Extremely fast compilation, ideal for CI/CD
3. Recommended to use LTS version (e.g., 1.22.x)
4. GOPATH directory is auto-created
## Version Selection
| Version | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| go1.22.x | LTS stable (recommended) |
| go1.21.x | Previous stable |
| go1.23.x | Latest |
