# Setting up your Go development environment for Elastic Beanstalk

This topic provides instructions to set up a Go development environment to test your application locally prior to deploying it to AWS Elastic Beanstalk. It also references websites that provide installation instructions for useful tools. 
## Installing Go

To run Go applications locally, install Go. If you don't need a specific version, get the latest version that Elastic Beanstalk supports. For a list of supported versions, see [Go](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/platforms/platforms-supported.html#platforms-supported.go) in the *AWS Elastic Beanstalk Platforms* document.
Download Go at [https://golang.org/doc/install](https://golang.org/doc/install).
## Installing the AWS SDK for Go

If you need to manage AWS resources from within your application, install the AWS SDK for Go by using the following command.
```
$ go get github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go
```
For more information, see [AWS SDK for Go](https://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/).</div><div class="naked_ctrl">
