| ## Install package `golang` |
| |
| The `golang` Debian package may have already made its way into your Ubuntu distribution. Try this: |
| |
| ``` |
| $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-lxc/lxd-stable |
| $ sudo apt-get update |
| $ sudo apt-get install golang |
| ``` |
| |
| Note there is golang in Ubuntu but it is not up to date. An up-to-date version may be found at |
| https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-lxc/+archive/ubuntu/lxd-stable |
| |
| That is all you need to get `go` working on your system. (You can use `go env GOROOT` to be sure where the Go files are, if you're curious.) Don't forget to create your GOPATH. |

| ## If that didn't work |
