How do I write my first Go program and run it?

To write your first Go program, follow these steps:

Install Go by visiting the official Go website at golang.org/dl and downloading the installer for your operating system.
Set up a workspace. You can create a directory for your Go projects, for example: mkdir ~/go_projects.
Create a new Go file. Use your favorite text editor to create a file named HelloWorld.go in your workspace.
Write the following code in HelloWorld.go:


        package main

        import "fmt"

        func main() {
            fmt.Println("Hello, World!")
        }

To run your program, open your terminal or command prompt, navigate to your workspace, and execute the following command:


        go run HelloWorld.go

You should see the output:


        Hello, World!
