### Installing Go in Mac OS X using Package Installer
|
|
|
|
From the [golang's download page](https://golang.org/dl/), get the Mac package installer (ending in .pkg) and run it.

|
#### Check installation and version of go
|
|
|
|
To check if go was successfully installed, open your terminal and use:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ go version
|
|
```
|
|
This should print to the console the version of go, while at the same time making sure the installation went smoothly.
