To set up your environment for developing on Go 1.11:

1. Install the latest release of Go 1.11.

   See Go 1.11 Runtime Environment for a list of the supported versions.

2. Install and initialize the gcloud CLI for deploying and managing your apps. If you already have the gcloud CLI installed and initialized, run the gcloud components update command to update to the latest release.

   By downloading, you agree to be bound by the Terms that govern use of the gcloud CLI for App Engine.

3. Install the gcloud component that includes the App Engine extension for Go 1.11.

   If you used the apt or yum package managers to install the gcloud CLI, use those same package managers to install the gcloud component.

   Otherwise, use the following command:

    gcloud components install app-engine-go
