Install Golang using Gobrew

#beginners #programming #go #tutorial

The Go version manager’s name is gobrew, which is inspired by nodebrew.

Install gobrew 

curl -sLk https://git.io/gobrew | sh -

export PATH="$HOME/.gobrew/current/bin:$HOME/.gobrew/bin:$PATH"

export GOROOT="$HOME/.gobrew/current/go"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

to make sure it installed properly:

which go
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

it should return something like:

/Users/username/.gobrew/current/bin/go
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If it returns something else, then try to copy the second and third line into ~/zshrc. Don't forget to source ~/.zshrc.

Install Go 

gobrew install 1.19.5
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Set Go version 

gobrew use 1.19.5
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Uninstall Go 

gobrew uninstall 1.19.5
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

List installed Go versions 

gobrew ls
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

List available Go versions 

gobrew ls-remote
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
