Environment Setup

Downloading Go

First, we will need to install Go. To do that, go to the Go downloads page and download the version of the installer for your operating system. Simply run the installer and follow through all of the prompts it gives you and then you will have Go installed!

Remember to only install the version for your computer, or else Go won't work!
Remember to add Go to your path so you can access it from your terminal/command line!

Installing a Code Editor

One of the best editors around for Go is Sublime Text. We will install that too. To do so, visit the Sublime Text Download Page and select the download file for your operating system. Then, run through the Setup Wizard and you'll have Sublime Text installed!
