| Try: |
| |
| ``` |
| $ sudo apt-get install golang-go |
| ``` |
| |
| ... but if that's too old for you, try: |
| |
| ``` |
| $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gophers/archive |
| $ sudo apt update |
| $ sudo apt-get install golang-1.8-go |
| ``` |
| |
| > Note that golang-1.8-go puts binaries in /usr/lib/go-1.8/bin. If you want them on your PATH, you need to make the change yourself. |
| |
| Using snaps also works quite well: |
| |
| ``` |
| # This will give you go 1.8 |
| $ snap install --classic go |
| ``` |
| |
| Or use Go's official (non-Deb) downloads: |
| |
| https://golang.org/dl/ |
| |
| If you're using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and are unable to install `golang-1.8-go`, then you can also use the `longsleep/golang-backports` PPA: |
| |
| ``` |
| sudo add-apt-repository ppa:longsleep/golang-backports |
| sudo apt-get update |
| sudo apt-get install golang-go |
| ``` |
| |
