Go

Install

Check latest version on GoLang and change it if you want latest. Here, the Go version is 1.21.5.

You have to know CPU architecture, you can check it with uname -m command.

• x86_64 is AMD
• aarch64 is ARM
• arm64 is ARM

You can have another architecture, check it on GoLang website.

wget -c https://golang.org/dl/go1.21.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz -O go.tar.gz

wget -c https://golang.org/dl/go1.21.5.linux-arm64.tar.gz -O go.tar.gz

Delete old Go installation and extract new one.

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go.tar.gz

Add to PATH, if you haven't ZSH, you can use ~/.bashrc instead of ~/.zshrc.

vim ~/.zshrc

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

source ~/.zshrc

You can check Go version with go version command.

go version

Now you can delete Go archive.

rm go.tar.gz
