Golang is a programming language launched by Google, suitable for concurrent programming and multi-processor systems. It has fast compilation speed, powerful standard library and concise syntax. This article will introduce how to install Golang on Mac operating system.
The official website of Golang is "golang.org", and download links for all operating systems can be found on the official website. Enter the golang.org/dl/ page, click the macOS option, and download the latest installation package (in dmg format).

Summary
Through the above steps, we can successfully install and configure the Golang environment on Mac. Golang is a fast, powerful, and concise programming language suitable for concurrent programming and multi-processor systems. By learning Golang, we can better master modern programming skills and enhance our competitiveness.
