   1. Check and remove the existing GoLang version.

      Code Block
      language bash
      go version #displays the existing version sudo apt purge golang* #removes the existing Go version

   2. Use purge to remove the existing version; then, use wget to install the latest version.

      Code Block
      language bash
      sudo apt purge golang* #Removes the existing Go version. sudo wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.17.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz #Installs the current version (go1.17.7 as of 2022-02-14). sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.11.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz #Extracts Go in the /usr/local folder mkdir ~/.go

   3. Set the environmental variables and $PATH location.

      Code Block
      language bash
      GOROOT=/usr/local/go GOPATH=~/.go PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin

   4. Update the Go command.

      Code Block
      language bash
      sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/go" "go" "/usr/local/go/bin/go" 0 sudo update-alternatives --set go /usr/local/go/bin/go
