> You will need your `API URL` and your `API token` in order to connect the Client SDK to you Unleash instance. You can find this information in the “Admin” section Unleash management UI. [Read more](../user_guide/api-token)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### 1. Install unleash-client-go {#1-install-unleash-client-go}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To install the latest version of the client use:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
go get github.com/Unleash/unleash-client-go/v3
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you are still using Unleash Server v2.x.x, then you should use:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
go get github.com/Unleash/unleash-client-go
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### 2. Initialize unleash {#2-initialize-unleash}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The easiest way to get started with Unleash is to initialize it early in your application code:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```go
 | 
						|
import (
 | 
						|
	"github.com/Unleash/unleash-client-go/v3"
 | 
						|
)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
func init() {
 | 
						|
	unleash.Initialize(
 | 
						|
		unleash.WithListener(&unleash.DebugListener{}),
 | 
						|
		unleash.WithAppName("my-application"),
 | 
						|
		unleash.WithUrl("http://unleash.herokuapp.com/api/"),
 | 
						|
        unleash.WithCustomHeaders(http.Header{"Authorization": {"<API token>"}}),
 | 
						|
	)
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### 3. Use unleash {#3-use-unleash}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
After you have initialized the unleash-client you can easily check if a feature toggle is enabled or not.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```go
 | 
						|
unleash.IsEnabled("app.ToggleX")
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### 4. Stop unleash {#4-stop-unleash}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To shut down the client (turn off the polling) you can simply call the destroy-method. This is typically not required.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
unleash.Close()
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Built in activation strategies {#built-in-activation-strategies}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The Go client comes with implementations for the built-in activation strategies provided by unleash.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- DefaultStrategy
 | 
						|
- UserIdStrategy
 | 
						|
- FlexibleRolloutStrategy
 | 
						|
- GradualRolloutUserIdStrategy
 | 
						|
- GradualRolloutSessionIdStrategy
 | 
						|
- GradualRolloutRandomStrategy
 | 
						|
- RemoteAddressStrategy
 | 
						|
- ApplicationHostnameStrategy
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Read more about the strategies in [the activation strategies document](../user_guide/activation_strategy).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Unleash context {#unleash-context}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In order to use some of the common activation strategies you must provide a [unleash-context](https://github.com/Unleash/unleash/blob/master/docs/unleash-context.md). This client SDK allows you to send in the unleash context as part of the `isEnabled` call:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```go
 | 
						|
ctx := context.Context{
 | 
						|
    UserId: "123",
 | 
						|
    SessionId: "some-session-id",
 | 
						|
    RemoteAddress: "127.0.0.1",
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
unleash.IsEnabled("someToggle", unleash.WithContext(ctx))
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
