Go is an open source programming language that’s available for a variety of operating systems and Linux distributions.

There are multiple ways to install Go. In this guide, you’ll learn how to install Go for Ubuntu on Arm.

Before you begin

Confirm you are using an Arm machine by running:

    

        
        
uname -m

    

The output is similar to:

    

        
        aarch64

        
    

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

Download and install Go

The easiest way to install Go for Ubuntu on Arm is to download a release, extract it, and set up your PATH environment variable. To download and install Go, follow these steps:

Note

The following steps use go1.24.5. To download the latest version of Go, replace go1.24.5 with the identifier for the latest version. To find the latest version of Go, see All releases .

  1. Download a Go release:
    

        
        
wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.24.5.linux-arm64.tar.gz

    
  1. Extract the release to /usr/local/go:
    

        
        
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf ./go1.24.5.linux-arm64.tar.gz

    
  1. Add the path to go in your .bashrc file:
    

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

    

Verify Go installation

Confirm go is installed by printing the version:

    

        
        
go version

    

The output is similar to:

    

        
        go version go1.24.5 linux/arm64

        
    

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