I’m on a CentOS 7.9 virtual machine and I’m trying to install Go following this procedure (rif. https://computingforgeeks.com/install-go-golang-on-centos-rhel-linux/)
sudo yum -y install wget
wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.19.3.src.tar.gz
sha256sum go1.19.3.src.tar.gz
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go*.src.tar.gz
Then I’ve added
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
in
- $HOME/.profile
- /etc/profile
and finally
source $HOME/.profile
source /etc/profile
But when I try the command
go version
the result is
-bash: go: command not found
I’ve seen that no bin directory is under /usr/local/go path as shown in the picture
Any suggestion will be appreciated and thank you in advance
>Solution :
Looks like you are downloading the source, not the binary. You should be doing
wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.19.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
not
wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.19.3.src.tar.gz
