How to Install Go 1.9 on Ubuntu

👇

Step 1 – Install Go Language

Login to your Ubuntu system using ssh and upgrade to apply latest security updates there.

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get -y upgrade 
Now download the Go language binary archive file using following link.

$ wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.9.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz
Now extract the downloaded archive and install it to the desired location on the system. 
Then I am installing it under /usr/local directory. You can also put this under the home directory (for shared hosting) or other location.

$ sudo tar -xvf go1.9.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz

$ sudo mv go /usr/local

Step 2 – Setup Go Environment

Now you need to setup Go language environment variables for your project. Commonly you need to set 3 environment variables as GOROOT, GOPATH and PATH.

GOROOT is the location where Go package is installed on your system.

$ export GOROOT=/usr/local/go

GOPATH is the location of your work directory. For example my project directory is ~/go_project/.

$ export GOPATH=$HOME/go_project/
Now set the PATH variable to access go binary system wide.

$ export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$GOROOT/bin:$PATH
All above environment will be set for your current session only. To make it permanent add above commands in ~/.profile file.

Step 3 – Verify Installation

At this step, you have successfully installed and configured go language on your system. First, use the following command to check Go version.

$ go version
Output : go version go1.9.4 linux/amd64

Now also verify all configured environment variables using following command.

$ go env


Output : 





GOARCH="amd64"

GOBIN=""

GOEXE=""

GOHOSTARCH="amd64"

GOHOSTOS="linux"

GOOS="linux"

GOPATH="/root/Projects/Proj1"

GORACE=""

GOROOT="/usr/local/go"

GOTOOLDIR="/usr/local/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64"

GCCGO="gccgo"

CC="gcc"

GOGCCFLAGS="-fPIC -m64 -pthread -fmessage-length=0 -fdebug-prefix-map=/tmp/go-build764105058=/tmp/go-build -gno-record-gcc-switches"

CXX="g++"

CGO_ENABLED="1"

CGO_CFLAGS="-g -O2"

CGO_CPPFLAGS=""

CGO_CXXFLAGS="-g -O2"

CGO_FFLAGS="-g -O2"

CGO_LDFLAGS="-g -O2"

PKG_CONFIG="pkg-config"
Step 4 – Config Source Path Set 

Now you set go env path in source file.
 
$ sudo vi ~/.profile

Inside that file, you will Set the Go variable path. Inside of line


# ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells.



# This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login



# exists.



# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples.



# the files are located in the bash-doc package.







# the default umask is set in /etc/profile; for setting the umask



# for ssh logins, install and configure the libpam-umask package.



#umask 022







# if running bash



if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then



    # include .bashrc if it exists



    if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then



 . "$HOME/.bashrc"



    fi



fi







# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists



if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then



    PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"



fi







export GOPATH="$HOME/go_project"



export GOBIN="$GOPATH/bin"



export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin"



export GOROOT="/usr/local/go"

Java Stdin and Stdout II Code

In this challenge, you must read an  integer , a  double , and a  String  from stdin, then print the values according to the instructions in the  Output Format  section below. To make the problem a little easier, a portion of the code is provided for you in the editor. Note:  We recommend completing  Java Stdin and Stdout I  before attempting this challenge. Input Format There are three lines of input: The first line contains an  integer . The second line contains a  double . The third line contains a  String . Output Format There are three lines of output: On the first line, print  String:  followed by the unaltered  String  read from stdin. On the second line, print  Double:  followed by the unaltered  double  read from stdin. On the third line, print  Int:  followed by the unaltered  integer  read from stdin. To make the pr...

Java Loops II print each element of our series as a single line of space-separated values.

We use the integers  ,  , and   to create the following series: You are given   queries in the form of  ,  , and  . For each query, print the series corresponding to the given  ,  , and   values as a single line of   space-separated integers. Input Format The first line contains an integer,  , denoting the number of queries.  Each line   of the   subsequent lines contains three space-separated integers describing the respective  ,  , and   values for that query. Constraints Output Format For each query, print the corresponding series on a new line. Each series must be printed in order as a single line of   space-separated integers. Sample Input 2 0 2 10 5 3 5 Sample Output 2 6 14 30 62 126 254 510 1022 2046 8 14 26 50 98 Explanation We have two queries: We use  ...
