For the reason here, you should follow the steps below before installing the first GO version with GVM;

  • Download latest GO version as archive from here.
  • Extract archive.
  • Execute this command in terminal to add GO path temporarily; export PATH="$PATH:/Users/cagrialdemir/Desktop/go/bin"
  • Install latest GO version with GVM; gvm install go1.19.2
  • Use downloaded GO and set it as default; gvm use go1.19.2 --default
  • Now, you can delete temporarily downloaded GO folder; rm -rf /Users/cagrialdemir/Desktop/go

If you want to install non-ARM GO versions with M1 processor;
