GolangCI is a code analysis tool for Go that helps developers to create better, more maintainable code. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install GolangCI on Windows 10.
Before you can install GolangCI, you need to make sure you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:
First, open a terminal on your Windows 10 computer.
Run the following command to download the GolangCI installer:
go get github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint@v1.41.1
where command to find the location of the binary:where golangci-lint
The output of the where command should show the location of the binary. Copy the path to this location.
Open the Windows Environment Variables settings by searching for "Environment Variables" in the Windows search bar.
Click the "Environment Variables" button.
Under "System variables", find the "Path" variable and click "Edit".
Click "New" and paste in the path to the folder where the GolangCI binary is located.
Click "OK" to close all the windows.
Restart your terminal (or open up a new one) so the PATH changes take effect.
Test the installation by running the following command:
golangci-lint --version
If you see the version number outputted in the terminal, then the installation was successful.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed GolangCI on your Windows 10 computer. You can now use GolangCI to analyze your Go code and improve its quality.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
