Alibaba Cloud SDK:Set up a Go development environment on Windows

Visit the official website of VS Code and click Download for Windows to download the installation file.

Double-click the downloaded file such as VSCodeUserSetup-x64-1.89.1.exe and use the installation wizard to install VS Code.

Open VS Code. In the left sidebar, click Extensions or press Ctrl+Shift+X. Install the following extensions:

• Go: The official Go extension. Provides code editing, intelligent completion, and debugging.

• Code Runner: Runs code directly in the editor with a single click. Supports multiple languages including Go, Python, C++, Java, PHP, and Node.js.

Create a Go project.

In the VS Code menu bar, click File > Open Folder. Create a new project folder, such as goProjects, and then select the folder.

Initialize the Go module.

In the VS Code menu bar, click Terminal > New Terminal. Run `go mod init goprojects` to initialize the module. A go.mod file is generated in the project directory to manage dependencies and versions.

Create a .go file. To the right of the project name, click New File..., enter a file name such as helloaliyun.go, and paste the following code:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println("hello aliyun")
}

Run the code.

• If Code Runner is installed, right-click in the editor and select Run Code.

  

• Run the go run command in the Terminal.

  

• Select the file to run, such as helloaliyun.go. In the left sidebar, click Run and Debug or press Ctrl+Shift+D, then click Run and Debug.

  

Verify the setup.

Check the console output. If hello aliyun! appears, the Go development environment is ready.
