If you are going for efficiency over neatness with your script sorting, then use method one. If you are looking for neatness over efficiency though, use method two.

Method 1 (The sloppy way (But still works... way))
- Step 1: Download GoLang from https://golang.org/dl/. When it is finished downloading, run the installer and click all positive options (ex. 'Yes', 'Next', 'Accept', 'Install', 'Finish'). Unless you changed the default installation path during installation, Go should have installed in the root directory of your operating system. This is usually located in a drive called 'OSDisk (C:)'. If you are not granted administrator access on the computer you are using it's fine. GoLang supplies a bin/portable download that you can find on the 7th line of the table on the downloads page. If you have to use this, extract the contents of the zip file after it finishes downloading and in the extracted folder, you should see a folder named 'go'. Move or copy that folder into the root directory of your operating system.
- Step 2: Download kahoot-hack source files from github and extract the contents of the downloaded zip file. In the extracted folder, you should see a folder named 'kahoot-hack-master'. Right click on that folder, and click copy.
- Step 3: Next, navigate into the Go folder that should be located at C:\Go
