Go

Go is an open source programming language.

Before you begin

Go is available for a variety of operating systems and Linux distributions and has multiple ways to install it.

This article provides a quick solution to install Go for Ubuntu on Arm.

Confirm you are using an Arm machine by running:

uname -m

The output should be:

__output__aarch64

If you see a different result, you are not using an Arm computer running 64-bit Linux.

Download and install

The easiest way to install Go for Ubuntu on Arm is to download a release, extract it, and setup your PATH environment variable.

Download a Go release:

wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.23.1.linux-arm64.tar.gz

Extract the release to /usr/local/go:

sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf ./go1.23.1.linux-arm64.tar.gz

Add the path to go in your .bashrc file.

echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Confirm go is installed by printing the version:

go version

The output should print the version:

__output__go version go1.23.1 linux/arm64

You are ready to use the Go programming language on your Arm machine running Ubuntu.
