GoLand is an amazing Go IDE by JetBrains. If you love other JetBrains IDEs then, you will love GoLand as well. GoLand will improve your Go development workflow with it\u2019s amazing features such as intelligent auto completion, syntax highlighting, code snippets etc. In this article, I will show you how to install GoLand Go IDE on Ubuntu. So, let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n

Installing Go Programming Language on Ubuntu:<\/h1>\n

In order to run Go programs with GoLand Go IDE, you must have Go programming language installed on your machine.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

I\u2019ve written a dedicated article on installing Go programming language on Ubuntu. If you don\u2019t have Go programming language installed on your Ubuntu machine already, you may check it out at\u00a0https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/install-golang-ubuntu\/<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Downloading GoLand:<\/h2>\n

GoLand is not available in the official package repository of Ubuntu. But, you can easily download GoLand from the official package repository of JetBrains and install it on Ubuntu.<\/p>\n

First, visit the official website of JetBrains at\u00a0https:\/\/www.jetbrains.com<\/a>. Then, go to\u00a0Tools<\/strong>\u00a0>\u00a0GoLand<\/strong>\u00a0as marked in the screenshot below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, click on\u00a0Download<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Make sure\u00a0Linux<\/strong>\u00a0is selected. Then, click on\u00a0DOWNLOAD<\/strong>.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Your browser should prompt you to download GoLand archive. Select\u00a0Save File<\/strong>\u00a0and click on\u00a0OK<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Your download should start. It may take a while to complete.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Installing and Configuring GoLand:<\/h3>\n

Once the download is complete, you can install GoLand from the command line interface.<\/p>\n

First, navigate to the directory where you downloaded GoLand archive with the following command:<\/p>\n

\n
$\u00a0<\/span>cd<\/span>\u00a0~\/<\/span>Downloads<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As you can see, the file I just downloaded is here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, run the following command to install GoLand in\u00a0\/opt<\/strong>\u00a0directory:<\/p>\n

\n
$\u00a0<\/span>sudo<\/span>\u00a0tar<\/span>\u00a0xzf goland-2018.3.2.tar.gz\u00a0-C<\/span>\u00a0\/<\/span>opt<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

NOTE:\u00a0<\/u><\/strong>If you want to install GoLand somewhere other than\u00a0\/opt<\/strong>\u00a0directory, just replace\u00a0\/opt\u00a0<\/strong>with the directory path where you want to install GoLand.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, type in your login password and press\u00a0<Enter><\/strong>. GoLand should be installed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As you can see, a new directory is created inside the\u00a0\/opt<\/strong>\u00a0directory. Note the directory name. It may be different by the time you read this article. Make sure to replace it with yours from now on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You have to run GoLand from the command line for the first time. Run GoLand as follows:<\/p>\n

\n
$\u00a0<\/span>\/<\/span>opt\/<\/span>GoLand-2018.3.2\/<\/span>bin\/<\/span>goland.sh<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As you\u2019re running GoLand for the first time, you may not have any settings to import. So, select\u00a0Do not import settings<\/strong>\u00a0and click on\u00a0OK<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, you have to accept the GoLand User Agreement. To do that, select\u00a0I confirm that I have read and accept the terms of this User Agreement<\/strong>\u00a0and click on\u00a0Continue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

You may not may not want to share usage data with JetBrains. Click on any of the buttons depending on whether you want to share GoLand usage data with JetBrains or not.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, you have to activate GoLand. To do that, you have to buy a license for GoLand from JetBrains. Once you have the license, you can type in the credentials here and activate GoLand.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you want to try out GoLand before you buy it, then select\u00a0Evaluate for free<\/strong>\u00a0and click on\u00a0Evaluate<\/strong>. You can try out GoLand for 30 days as of the time of this writing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

GoLand is being loaded.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is the dashboard of GoLand. From here you can create new projects and manage your existing projects.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, you should create a Desktop shortcut of GoLand. This way, you can launch GoLand from the\u00a0Application Menu<\/strong>\u00a0of Ubuntu. To do that, click on\u00a0Configure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n
