Installing GolangCI on macOS

GolangCI is a linting tool for Go developing. It provides static analysis of Go code for common errors, potential bugs, and other issues.

Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to install GolangCI on macOS.

Prerequisites

• A macOS running computer.
• A terminal application installed.

Steps

Step 1: Install Go

First, you need to make sure that Go is installed on your macOS. If you haven't installed Go yet, you can download and install it from the official website: https://golang.org/dl/.

Step 2: Install GolangCI

GolangCI provides an installation script to easily install it on your macOS. To run the script, use the following commands in your terminal:

curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/golangci/golangci-lint/master/install.sh | sh -s -- -b $(go env GOPATH)/bin

This command downloads the latest GolangCI release and installs it in the $GOPATH/bin directory.

Step 3: Verify the Installation

To verify that GolangCI is installed correctly on your macOS, you can run the following command in your terminal:

golangci-lint --version

If GolangCI is installed correctly, you should see its version number in the output.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed GolangCI on your macOS. With GolangCI, you can easily analyze your Go code for common errors, potential bugs, and other issues.
