To install Go programming language on Mac OS X, you have several options:
- Homebrew: This is a package manager for Mac OS X that makes it easy to install and manage software. To install Go using Homebrew, run the following command in your terminal:
brew install go
- Binary Installer: You can also download the binary installer from the official Go website at https://golang.org/dl/. Simply download the package file, double-click it to mount it, and then drag the Go.app to your Applications folder.
- Source Code: If you prefer to install from source code, you can download the source code from the official Go website and compile it on your machine. You can find instructions for compiling and installing Go from source on the Go website at https://golang.org/doc/install/source.
After installation, you can verify that Go is installed and check the version by running the following command in your terminal:
go version
This should return the version of Go that you have installed on your machine.
