[Golang Installation Problems]Installed golang still go: command not found
Command ‘go’ not found
I’ve learned golang with this udemy’s course, as I need to know some concepts of it:
The following error occurred to me:
gkz@localhost ~$ go build
Command ‘go’ not found, but can be installed with:sudo snap install go # version 1.12.9, or
sudo apt install golang-go # version 2:1.10~4ubuntu1
sudo apt install gccgo-go # version 2:1.10~4ubuntu1See ‘snap info go’ for additional versions.
What’s going on?????
Although, as seeing the official golang’s tutorial, I’ve already installed go by executing as bellow, I can’t build it:
tar -C /usr/local -xzf go$VERSION.$OS-$ARCH.tar.gzTwo probable causes:
- The installation is not done.
- Setup Go in the PATH environment variable is unfinished.
1. The installation is not done?

I tried to add GOPATH in ~/.profile, as making a use of the official document as reference:
Add
/usr/local/go/binto thePATHenvironment variable. You can do this by adding this line to your/etc/profile(for a system-wide installation) or$HOME/.profile:

My problem was solved!!
gkz@localhost ~$ go version
go version go1.12.9 linux/amd64
gkz@localhost ~$ which go
/usr/local/go/bin/goI’d be happy if this article helps you to have a fun to learn golang, and much happier if you share it and follow my twitter acct :)
