Go

Go projects can be run in Devbox by adding the Go SDK to your project. If your project uses cgo or compiles against C libraries, you should also include them in your packages to ensure Go can compile successfully

Example Repo

Open In Devbox.sh

Adding Go to your Project​

devbox add go, or add the following to your devbox.json

  "packages": [
    "go"
  ]

This will install go 1.18.

Other versions available to install include:

  • go_1_19 (version 1.19)
  • go_1_17 (version 1.17)

If you need additional C libraries, you can add them along with gcc to your package list. For example, if libcap is required for yoru project: 

"packages": [
    "go",
    "gcc", 
    "libcap"
]
