2. Go install #
Select the tab for your computer’s operating system below, then follow its installation instructions.
A. Extract the archive you downloaded into /usr/local, creating a Go tree in /usr/local/go.
Important: This step will remove a previous installation at /usr/local/go, if any, prior to extracting. Please back up any data before proceeding.
For example, run the following as root or through sudo:
rm -rf /usr/local/go && tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.20.8.linux-amd64.tar.gz
B. Add /usr/local/go/bin to the PATH environment variable.
You can do this by adding the following line to your $HOME/.profile or /etc/profile (for a system-wide installation):
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
Note:
- Changes made to a profile file may not apply until the next time you log into your computer.
- To apply the changes immediately, just run the shell commands directly or execute them from the profile using a command such as
source $HOME/.profile.
