To install Go, visit the Go download page and copy the link of the latest Go release for Linux systems, download and unzip the archive file as follows:
wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.16.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.16.linux-amd64.tar.gz
Finally, export the Go paths like so:
mkdir -p $HOME/go/bin
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
echo "export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin" >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
To test the Go installation, use the version command to check the downloaded version as follows :
go version
This should output :
