Here’s how to install Go on Ubuntu Linux Mint 19.3.

Download the latest from https://golang.org/dl/.

wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.13.linux-amd64.tar.gz

wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.13.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Check the checksum.

sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.13.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Edit your Bash profile to add Go’s path.

cd ~
vim ~/.profile
# Add Go's path
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
# Load the profile
source ~/.profile

cd ~ vim ~/.profile # Add Go's path export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin # Load the profile source ~/.profile

Check if Go is installed.

VirtualBox 6 in Mint 19

January 16, 2019 by Ulysses

If you like to try out different flavors of Linux as well as other distros, install them in a virtual environment like VirtualBox. In this way you avoid messing up your system since installation will be inside a container. VirtualBox can run in Windows, Mac and Linux. I’m currently running it on Linux Mint 19. If you are curious, the instructions are here to install VirtualBox 6 in Linux Mint 19.

VirtualBox 6.0
