Note that if you have opened the Command Prompt before, you need to restart it so that the changes are taking effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This command will display the installed version of Go like:<\/p>\n\n\n

rm -rf \/usr\/local\/go && tar -C \/usr\/local -xzf go1.23.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz<\/code><\/span><\/pre>\n\n\n
Please replace the go1.23.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz file with your downloaded one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Second, add \/usr\/local\/go<\/code> to the PATH<\/code> environment variable:<\/p>\n\n\n
