Git is a version control system used to manage software projects. We need to install Git as it's required to download the MailyGo package from Git repository.
To install Git, open your terminal and run the following command:

Next, move the extracted Go directory to /usr/local:
sudo mv go /usr/local
We need to set up environment variables for Go. Add the following lines at the end of your ~/.bashrc file:
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOPATH/bin
Then, source the ~/.bashrc file to load the newly added environment variables:
source ~/.bashrc

cd MailyGo
Next, run the following command to build MailyGo:
go build
