Notes on Installing mods from source on Ubuntu , and installing golang:
(based on https://www.perplexity.ai/search/how-to-go-install-github-com-c-yEWTammCQBKQnTv2Mkwgsg )
Step 1: installing Golang:
sudo apt update # eventually may skip this, depending on update preference
sudo apt install golang-go -y
Step 2: Set up Go environment
go install and compile will create binaries that you may want to be available directly from shell without typing full path.
For that we need to add directory into $PATH in ~/.bashrc,
add after last 'PATH=' you find in file (or just at the end of file) another line, however FIND if you have "INTERACTIVE ONLY" line in the middle of .bashrc that splits top for all usecases from "interactive only", it usually has this code [[ $- != *i* ]] && return , then you may want to put it as last PATH= above that line,
alternative tutorials advice ~/.profile (there is also ~/.xprofile on ArchLinux... one day I need to refersh which is which 🙈) to work in all (not only bash) shells, and environments:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
Verify installation
go version
And now installing, compiling like mods , ONE of TWO (as golang at some version changed) should work:
go install github.com/charmbracelet/mods@latest
OR
export GO111MODULE=on
go get github.com/charmbracelet/mods@latest
( NOTE for OLD LTS systems:
You may eventually want to consider using newer golang from longsleep repos:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:longsleep/golang-backports
sudo apt update
sudo apt install golang-go

( and reminder that if you need to add-apt-repository on older LTS you may need to temporarily switch to older python and back to new with :
