Technical requirements

In order to proceed with all the recipes in this chapter, configure your environment according to these steps:

1. Download and install Go 1.12.6 or greater on youroperatingsystem fromhttps://golang.org/doc/install.
2. Open a Terminal or console application, and create and navigate to a project directory such as ~/projects/go-programming-cookbook. All the code will be run and modified from this directory.
3. Clone the latest code into ~/projects/go-programming-cookbook-original and (optionally) work from that directory, rather than typing in the examples manually:

          $ git clone [email protected]:PacktPublishing/Go-Programming-Cookbook-Second-Edition.git go-programming-cookbook-original
