Run GoLand for the first time

Last modified: 31 July 2023

You can use the Toolbox App to run any JetBrains product. In case of a standalone installation, running GoLand depends on the operating system:

To run GoLand, find it in the Windows Start menu or use the desktop shortcut. You can also run the launcher batch script or executable in the installation directory under bin.

Once you launch GoLand, you will see the Welcome screen, the starting point to your work with the IDE, and configuring its settings. This screen also appears when you close all opened projects. Use the tabs on the left side to switch to the specific welcome dialog.

If you are a new user who has not yet created any projects, GoLand will advise you to go through an onboarding tour.
