Configure your environment according to these steps:

1. Download and install Go 1.12.6 or greater on your operating system from https://golang.org/doc/install.
2. Install Apex from http://apex.run/#installation.
3. Open Terminal or console application and create and navigate to a project directory such as ~/projects/go-programming-cookbook. All the code we will cover in this recipe will be run and modified from this directory.
4. Clone the latest code into ~/projects/go-programming-cookbook-original. Here, you have the option to work from that directory rather than typing in the examples manually:

$ git clone [email protected]:PacktPublishing/Go-Programming-Cookbook-Second-Edition.git go-programming-cookbook-original
