title: Installing Go in Ubuntu using apt-get

### Installing Go in Ubuntu using apt-get
|
|
|
|
Using Ubuntu's Source Package Manager (apt-get) is the easiest way to install Go. You won't get the latest stable version, but for the purpose of learning this should be enough.
|
|
>As of this writing, Ubuntu Xenial's version of go is 1.6.1, while the latest
|
|
stable version is 1.9.1
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ sudo apt-get update
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install golang-go
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Check installation and version of go
|
|
|
|
To check if go was successfully installed, use:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ go version
|
|
> go version go1.9.1 linux/amd64
|
|
```
|
|
This will print to the console the version of go, while at the same time making sure the installation went smoothly.
