Agora provides a runnable [sample project](https://github.com/AgoraIO-Extensions/Agora-Golang-Server-SDK) on GitHub. This page shows you how to clone and run the project to send and receive media streams.

To run the sample project, take the following steps:

1. Clone the repository locally:

   ```bash
   git clone git@github.com:AgoraIO-Extensions/Agora-Golang-Server-SDK.git
   ```

2. Download the Agora SDK to `agora_sdk` or `agora_sdk_mac` directory:

   ```bash
   make deps
   ```

3. Build the SDK:

   ```bash
   make build
   ```

4. Download test data for running the examples:

   ```bash
   curl -o test_data.zip https://download.agora.io/demo/test/server_sdk_test_data_202410252135.zip
   unzip test_data.zip
   ```

   You can also use your own data and modify the data path in examples.

5. Build the basic examples:

   ```bash
   make examples
   ```

6. Run the basic example:

   ```bash
   cd ./bin
   # Get AGORA_APP_ID and AGORA_APP_CERTIFICATE from agora console
   export AGORA_APP_ID=xxxx
   # To enable authentication for your project you need the AGORA_APP_CERTIFICATE from Agora console
   export AGORA_APP_CERTIFICATE=xxx
   # For linux, use the following command to load agora sdk library
   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../agora_sdk
   # For mac, use the following command
   # export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=../agora_sdk_mac
   ./send_recv_pcm
   ```

Follow the instructions in the [README](https://github.com/AgoraIO-Extensions/Agora-Golang-Server-SDK/blob/main/README.md) to run the advanced examples.
