### Installing Go in Arch Linux using pacman
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using Arch Linux Package Manager (pacman) is the easiest way to install Go. Based on the Arch Linux philosophy of providing new software versions very fast, you will get a very current version of go.
|
||
|
|
Before you can install the go package, you have to bring the system up to date.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
$ sudo pacman -Syu
|
||
|
|
$ sudo pacman -S go
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Check installation and version of go
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To check if go was successfully installed, use:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
$ go version
|
||
|
|
> go version go2.11.1 linux/amd64
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
This will print to the console the version of go, while at the same time making sure the installation went smoothly.
