Go
download Go from their website or use this:
curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz
extract the file using GUI or use this:
tar -C ~/+specify/+some/+path/+here -xzf go1.9.linux-amd64.tar.gz
we need to set global environment variables (so that Go works from any terminal anywhere)
sudo gedit /etc/profile
and paste those:
export GOROOT=/+the/+path+/you/+specified/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
note that there are (many) other files other than /etc/profile where you can paste those two lines and they'll work
save and exit =)
go version
paste those to a file (named for example hello.go):
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Printf("hello, world\n")
}
open a terminal in the same directory of the file
go build
./hello
