Running Go File/Packages

run compiles then runs a main package comprised of the .go files.

• The command is compiled to a temporary folder.

# compile and run the go package
go run main.go

install and build compiles the files into binaries.

# compile the packages named by imports, along with dependencies, but doesn't install the results
go build file_path

# compiles and installs the packages named by the imports
go install file_path
