The Ubuntu repositories carry an old version of Go.

Ubuntu users can use the 'gophers' PPA to install an up to date version of Go (version 1.7 or later is

preferred). See https://launchpad.net/~gophers/+archive/ubuntu/archive for more information. Note

that this PPA requires adding /usr/lib/go-1.X/bin to the executable PATH.

Download the stable distribution, go1.10.X is supported , go.1.11,X is not supported yet

curl -O https://dl.google.com/go/go1.10.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Unpack it to the /usr/local (might require sudo)

tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.10.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz

For Go to work properly, you need to set the following two environment variables:

1. Setup a go folder mkdir -p ~/go; echo "export GOPATH=$HOME/go" >> ~/.bashrc
2. Update your path echo "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/go/bin:/usr/local/go/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
3. Read the environment variables into current session: source ~/.bashrc
