go build or go run need how much cpu/memory resources?

Pentium 2 with 300Mhz or 500Mhz,

16MB or 64 MB memory

and 5GB or 10GB hard disk space is enough?

well, you can run and compile golang code on a Raspberry Pi... it just takes a lot longer :)

That PC will not be able to run or compile Go. Too little memory.

"go run" runs "go build" behind the scenes. The requirements for building are usually higher than running.

For low-powered machines, it's better to build on a more powerful machine, and then deploy to the weaker hardware. (e.g. Raspberry Pi)
