How to install Go [golang] on Ubuntu Linux

To install Go (also known as Golang) on Ubuntu Linux, you can use the following steps:

1. Download the Go binary distribution:
   Visit the Go download page at https://golang.org/dl/ and download the latest version of the Go binary distribution for Linux.

2. Extract the downloaded tarball:
   tar xvf go1.x.x.linux-amd64.tar.gz
   This extracts the Go files to a directory called go.

3. Move the Go directory to the /usr/local directory:
   sudo mv go /usr/local

4. Add the Go bin directory to your PATH environment variable:
   echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
   This allows you to run the go command from any directory.

You can verify the installation by running the go version command, which should display the version of Go that you have installed.

Go is a programming language developed by Google that is designed for building efficient and scalable applications. It is a popular choice for developing web servers, distributed systems, and other types of networked applications.

Note: These steps assume that you are using Ubuntu Linux and the Bash shell. If you are using a different Linux distribution or a different shell, you may need to use different commands to install Go.
