Setting up on Mac

Make sure you have git installed via Xcode.

Download the binary .tar.gz (not the .pkg) from golang.org/dl: https://golang.org/dl/go1.15.1.darwin-amd64.tar.gz

Extract into ~/goroot so GOROOT and GOPATH don't conflict:

tar xzvf go1.15.1.darwin-amd64.tar.gz
mv go ~/goroot

Add to your PATH in ~/.bash_profile:

PATH="${HOME}/goroot/bin:${HOME}/go/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH

Reload your ~/.bash_profile:

source ~/.bash_profile

Make sure you're running the expected version of Go:

which go
go version
