How to Install Go Language using Package Manager in Linux

Go language is available in the default repositories of most modern Linux distributions.

To install Golang in Alpine Linux, run:

$ sudo apk add go

On Arch Linux and variants like EndeavourOS and Manjaro Linux:

$ sudo pacman -S go

On RPM based systems like Fedora, RHEL, and its clones like CentOS, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux, run:

$ sudo dnf install golang

On older RHEL systems, use yum instead of dnf:

$ sudo yum install golang

On DEB based systems such as Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Pop OS, you can install Go language using command:

$ sudo apt install golang

On SUSE/openSUSE:

$ sudo zypper install golang

Once installed, Check the Golang version using command:

$ go version

Sample output:

go version go1.18.1 linux/amd64
