## Introduction

We present the general steps to install the ThreeFold Grid3 Go Client.

## Requirements

Make sure that you have at least Go 1.19 installed on your machine.

## Steps

* Create a new directory
    ```bash
    mkdir tf_go_client
    ```
* Change directory
    ```bash
    cd tf_go_client
    ```
* Creates a **go.mod** file to track the code's dependencies
    ```bash
    go mod init main
    ```
