Greetings Gophers,
I've been working on a "one line installer" for Go with Jess Frazelle and
Chris Broadfoot and we think it's ready to share a bit more broadly.
The installer is designed to both install Go as well as do the initial
configuration of setting up the right environment variables and paths.
It will install the Go distribution (tools & stdlib) to "/.go" inside your
home directory by default.
It will setup "$HOME/go" as your GOPATH.
If Go is already installed *via this installer* it will upgrade it to the
latest version of Go.
Currently supported systems:
linux, darwin, windows / amd64, 386 / bash, zsh, powershell
*Usage*
Windows Powershell:
(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('
https://get.golang.org/installer.exe', 'installer.exe'); Start-Process
-Wait -NonewWindow installer.exe; Remove-Item installer.exe
Shell (Linux/macOS/Windows):
curl -LO https://get.golang.org/$(uname)/go_installer && chmod +x
go_installer && ./go_installer && rm go_installer
As we discovered developing this, installers are really all edge cases.
We're certain we've not found many of them.
*Our goal is that this becomes the primary mechanism to install Go. *
*To do that, we need your help testing, improving and fixing it. *

If you find any issues please report them on Github

Thanks,
Steve
