That's the one i used first but got errors that it couldn't find GOPATH even though i installed it to the suggested default location.
So when that didn't work i delete the go directory and the details from .profile and then followed :// www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-go-1-6-on-ubuntu-16-04 . Not sure why its being difficult.
