Install golang in a somewhat recent version in Ubuntu is quite annoying. Here a on-line command which will do the trick for you. (Replace 1.21 with whatever version of go you want to install)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo apt remove --autoremove golang-go; sudo apt install snapd; sudo snap install --classic --channel=1.21\/stable go<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
What it does: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
  1. sudo apt remove --autoremove golang-go<\/code> Remove all current go installation you installed via apt<\/li>
  2. sudo apt install snapd;<\/code> Install snap (Software packaging system by Canonical <= Folks behind ubuntu. Learn more<\/a>)<\/li>
  3. sudo snap install --classic --channel=1.21\/stable go<\/code> Use snap to install golang<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    This works like a charm, and after hours of trying to make it work via the binary download “official” way mentioned on the golang.org this finally made my golang installation work. <\/p>\n\n\n
