golang ubuntu installation

Go is an open source programming language with efficient performance and powerful functions. If you are a Go developer or want to learn Go, you need to install Go on your computer. This article will introduce you to the steps to install Go on Ubuntu system.

Step 1: Install dependencies

Before installing Go, we need to ensure that our system has some necessary dependencies installed to support the compilation and running of Go. We can install these dependencies using the following command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential curl git

Step 2: Install Go

Now we can start installing Go. First, we need to download the Go binary file from the official website (https://golang.org/dl/). Select the version appropriate for your system to download. For example, if your system is a 64-bit Ubuntu system, download the 64-bit version of the Go binary.

After the download is complete, we need to extract the file to our system. We can use the following command to unzip the Go file:

sudo tar -xzf go1.XX.XX.linux-amd64.tar.gz -C /usr/local

Please note that you need to replace "XX.XX.XX" with the version number of the Go you downloaded.

Step 3: Configure environment variables

We have installed Go in the /usr/local directory. Next, we need to configure some environment variables so that we can run the Go program anywhere. Please open the .bashrc file using the following command:

nano ~/.bashrc

Add the following lines at the bottom of the file:

export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOPATH/bin

GOPATH variable will point to our go working directory and the PATH variable will contain the Go binary Location.

After saving and closing the file, use the following command to make the changes effective:

source ~/.bashrc

At this point, we have successfully installed Go and can now use the following command to verify that Go is installed:

go version

The currently installed Go version number should be displayed, indicating that Go has been successfully installed on your system.

Conclusion

Now, we have successfully installed Go on our Ubuntu system, along with some necessary dependencies and environment variables. Now you can start writing and running applications using Go.
