The point is the setup.

SETUP THIS

Let’s setup in the .bashrc

1
export GOROOT=$HOME/.local/share/go
2
export GOPATH=$HOME/.local/lib/go
3
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin

$GOROOT is your Golang installation. $GOPATH is your modules. Just figured this one.

INSTALL

At the moment the latest version of Go is 1.25.0.

1
 wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.25.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz
2
 rm -rf $GOROOT
3
 tar xvfz go1.25.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz -C $HOME/.local/share/
4
 rm -rf go1.25.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz

All Golang package is designed under go directory. No version included in the directory. So, the binary tar.gz will always be on track.
