go-mac-m1.md

Should we setup go environment var manually? Read this

Installation

1. Install golang using homebrew brew install go
2. Create go folder. I prefer to hide it using dot. mkdir -p $HOME/.go/{bin,src,pkg}

Configure ZSH

1. Set the go path by adding the following lines to file $HOME/.zshrc and then run source $HOME/.zshrc

export GOPATH="$HOME/.go"
export GOROOT="$(brew --prefix go)/libexec"
export PATH="$GOPATH/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="$GOROOT/bin:$PATH"

2. Check if GOPATH and GOROOT pointing to the correct location by running go env

GOPATH="/Users/iambudi/.go"
GOROOT="/opt/homebrew/opt/go/libexec"
GOTOOLDIR="/opt/homebrew/opt/go/libexec/pkg/tool/darwin_arm64"
