This guide will walk you through the installation of Go (Golang) on Fedora Linux operating system. Go is a programming language designed to ease the Development of reliable, simple, and efficient applications. It is an original product of Google Engineering.
In this guide, we will install Go on Fedora from official upstream repositories. To ensure the repositories are up-to-date, update the system.
sudo dnf -y updateOnce you confirm it is up, install Go on Fedora using the commands below.
sudo dnf install goConfirm the version of Go installed:
$ go version
go version go1.xx.y linux/amd64Test Go installation on Fedora
Now that we have Go installed on Fedora, let’s test to ensure it is working.
Start by creating your workspace directory.
mkdir $HOME/goCreate a directory inside it to host a test Go application.
cd $HOME/go
mkdir -p src/helloworld && cd src/helloworldCreate a file named helloworld.go that looks like:
cat>helloworld.go<<EOF
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Printf("hello, world\n")
}
EOFBuild the application with go tool:
cd $HOME/go/src/helloworld
go mod init
go buildThis will generate a new file called helloworld .
$ ls
helloworld helloworld.goExecute the file by running.
$ ./helloworld
hello, worldTo install the binary into your workspace’s bin directory, use:
$ go install
$ ls ~/go/bin/
helloworldTo remove it use:
go clean -iYou can add your Go binary directory to $PATH.
$ vim ~/.bashrc
export PATH="$PATH:~/go/bin/"
export GOPATH="~/go"
$ source ~/.bashrc You have installed Go on Fedora Linux system. Enjoy developing Go applications on your Fedora Workstation.
