Also, you should replace \u2018root\u2019 with the username of the admin account if needed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Before we begin the installation, we should ensure that all the Ubuntu OS packages installed on the server are updated. You can do this by running the following commands:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt-get update -y\r\napt-get upgrade -y<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-download-and-install-go\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-2-Download-and-Install-Go\"><\/span>Step 2: Download and Install Go<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>After this system update, you will need to download the latest version of the Go tarball from the Go official website.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>At the time of writing this article, the latest stable version of Go is version 1.16.7. But before downloading, visit the official Go downloads page\u00a0and check if there is a new version available.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To download the Go tarball, run the following command:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">wget https:\/\/golang.org\/dl\/go1.16.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Once the tarball is downloaded, verify the tarball checksum with the following command:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sha256sum go1.16.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You should see an output that looks similar to the one below:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">7fe7a73f55ba3e2285da36f8b085e5c0159e9564ef5f63ee0ed6b818ade8ef04 go1.16.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Compare the hash value from the above output to the checksum value on the Go download page. If they match, that means the file&#8217;s integrity is validated, and you can proceed with the installation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Next, extract the downloaded file to the\u00a0recommended <strong><code>\/usr\/local<\/code><\/strong> directory with the following command:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">tar -C \/usr\/local -xvzf go1.16.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That should extract Go and saved it in the <strong>\/usr\/local<\/strong> directory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-path-variable-for-go\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-3-Path-Variable-for-Go\"><\/span>Step 3: Path Variable for Go<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Next, we will need to add the path of the Go directory to the $PATH environment variable to execute Go like any other command, no matter where you are in the filesystem.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You can set the environment variable globally by creating a file called <code>go.sh<\/code> in the <code>\/etc\/profile.d<\/code> directory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">nano \/etc\/profile.d\/go.sh<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Add the following line:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">export PATH=$PATH:\/usr\/local\/go\/bin<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Save and close the file when you have finished.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you want to set the Go path environment variable for a specific user, you will need to define Go environment variables in your user\u2019s <code>.bash_profile<\/code> file.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">nano ~\/.bash_profile<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Add the following lines:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">export GOPATH=$HOME\/myproject\r\nexport PATH=$PATH:\/usr\/local\/go\/bin:$GOPATH\/bin<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Save and close the file. Then, run the source command to reload the updated profiles:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">source \/etc\/profile.d\/go.sh\r\nsource ~\/.bash_profile<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Next, you can use the following command to check the Go version:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">go version<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You should see the following output:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">go version go1.16.7 linux\/amd64<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-4-create-your-first-go-project\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-4-Create-your-First-Go-Project\"><\/span>Step 4: Create your First Go Project<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Now to check that everything is OK, we will create a sample program in the Go language. First, create a new directory for the Go workspace with the following command:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">mkdir $HOME\/myproject<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Next, create a new src\/test directory inside $HOME\/project with the following command:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">mkdir -p $HOME\/myproject\/src\/hello<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Next, create a simple program (hello.go) with the following command:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">nano $HOME\/myproject\/src\/hello\/hello.go<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Add the following content:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">package main\r\nimport \"fmt\"\r\nfunc main() {\r\n    fmt.Printf(\"This is my first Go Program\\n\")\r\n}<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Save and close the file. Then, compile the program with the following command:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">cd $HOME\/myproject\/src\/hello\/\r\ngo mod init\r\ngo build<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The above command will generate an executable named hello. You can now run the program with the following command:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">hello<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The output should be similar to the one below:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">This is my first Go Program<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That\u2019s it! Now you can use Go to code your programs for any platform.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Of course, you don\u2019t need to do any of this if you use one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/linux-vps-hosting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">managed Linux VPS Hosting<\/a> services, in which case you can ask our expert Linux admins to install Go on Ubuntu 20 for you.
