Before we start you should have golang on your machine, so lets get it, or if you already has one, just install useful libraries

Install golang

• For Linux:

sudo apt install golang-go

• For MacOS:

brew install go

Set GOPATH variables

Add next lines into you .bashrc or .zshrc, depends on what terminal emulatar you use.

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

Install useful libraries

• Goimports

go get golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports

• Go Linter
  • For Linux:

go get -u github.com/golangci/golangci-lint
cd $(go env GOPATH)/src/github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint
go install -ldflags "-X 'main.version=$(git describe --tags)' -X 'main.commit=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)' -X 'main.date=$(date)'"

• For MacOS:

brew install golangci/tap/golangci-lint
brew upgrade golangci/tap/golangci-lint
