gohere

Install Go into a local directory:

$ ./gohere.py ~/.goroot

~/.goroot is a directory where Go will be installed. You can choose a different directory, of course.

You need gcc package.

To start using the installed Go, add the following to ~/.bashrc

export PATH=$HOME/.goroot/bin:$PATH

Also remember to set GOPATH. I use my home directory as GOPATH:

export GOPATH=$HOME

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  --cache CACHE         Cache for downloaded Go sources (default:

  --test                Enable Go tests (takes several minutes to complete)
