Golang compiler produces static binary files, so you don't need install anything. Just run the binary.

  But this seems like a developer tool -- what developer doesn't have Python and Curl installed...

      If you develop web apps on windows you'll have Pyton installed. Also windows has power shell which has its own curl equivalent.
      • Sphax 10y ago
        the curl you get on powershell is absolutely not the same. The output of curl -v is totally different. And no, even if you develop web apps you don't necessarily have Python installed. If I wrote node, or C#, or Go, or PHP exclusively, why would I bother with Python ? Sure there are some useful tools in Python, but it's absolutely not a given that you'll have it. Unlike on Linux, where Python is installed by default everywhere and you can basically assume Python is available.

    Think of all the mess with python2 and python3 co-existence.

  Where to install the binary from? Installation procedure is using "go get".

    In theory, somebody could publish a binary that could be downloaded and run standalone -- no need for "go get". Looks like no such binary has been published, though.
