<h3 id="freebsd_linux">FreeBSD and Linux</h3>
<p>
+On FreeBSD and Linux, if you are upgrading from an older version of Go you must
+first remove the existing version from <code>/usr/local/go</code>:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+rm -r /usr/local/go
+</pre>
+
+<p>
Extract the archive into <code>/usr/local</code>, creating a Go tree in
-<code>/usr/local/go</code> (typically this must be run as root or through
-<code>sudo</code>):
+<code>/usr/local/go</code>:
</p>
<pre>
tar -C /usr/local -xzf go.release.go1.tar.gz
</pre>
+<p>(Typically these commands must be run as root or through <code>sudo</code>.)</p>
+
<p>
Add <code>/usr/local/go/bin</code> to the <code>PATH</code> environment
variable. You can do this by adding this line to your <code>/etc/profile</code>
