Go

Setting up

• For Ubuntu: Look here
• For MacOS: Look here
• Optional: If you want to have your executables to be stored in bin, add the following to your .bashrc:

              export GOBIN=$GOPATH/bin

• Installing third party packages; use go get. An example:-

        go get -u -v gopkg.in/mgo.v2

• You'll have to install the packages before you run the code, since my OS may be different from yours. Packages used in this tutorial -

              go get -u -v github.com/gin-gonic/gin
              go get -u -v github.com/jinzhu/gorm
              go get -u -v github.com/jinzhu/gorm/dialects/sqlite
              go get -u -v github.com/gin-contrib/cors

• To run a program:-

              go run file.go

React

Setting up

• First, install node. Then install yarn (because npm is not very nice)
• Ubuntu:

              curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
              sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
              npm install -g yarn
              yarn global add create-react-app

• MacOS:

              brew install node
              npm install -g yarn
              yarn global add create-react-app

• Then, create a new React application by running the following:

              create-react-app name_of_app

• In the app I've made, make sure you run npm install or just yarn inside the react-app folder. This command automatically looks at the package.json file and installs the required packages into the node_modules folder.
• You can run the app by running yarn start
