Installing the Go programming language

As stated at the beginning of this section, OBCS uses Hyperledger Fabric (1.1) as its foundation. This version of Fabric employs the Go programming language (1.7+) for writing smart contracts. Once OBCS upgrades its version of Hyperledger Fabric, you will need to install a newer version of the Go language, so always check the prerequisites page of the Fabric release (https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/prereqs.html).
