Installing golang via apt-get
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-lxc/lxd-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y upgrade
sudo apt-get install golang
# Usually this is good to install golang, but alas the apt-get repo is usually out of sync with the latest.

I concur @noraj and @nigurr, and all others, there are newer version and better ways to get Go installed based on what you're doing.

This gist is here for reference to a past blog entry and links. YMMV on use or if this even works anymore.

@zoltan-kecskemethy-epam

Yes. Agree. Keep it. Good source of info! Thanks.

This OP I wrote is pretty dated at this point @g1gabyteDEV. So YMMV and I don't even do it this way anymore. 👍
