Golang Installer for *nix

Some space-pilot astronauts that make Go Lang & maintain its' website thought it would be funny to make installing Go Lang a pain in the ass. Especially if whatever process you are following requires specific versions of go in order to develop for that application. So here is a program/script that makes it easy.

If you're on Ubuntu save yourself a haedache and just run a sudo apt-get install golang -y

What

installs golang
puts it in your bash (bashrc or bash_profile) profile
offers an interactive menu of versions for linux users to install golang from, optionally
offers a simple portable binary you can run to install golang non interactively

Requirements

you're running linux
Linux x86, X64 machines at this time
you're using bash

Usage

Using the binary

From the binary, get a menu of different versions (WARNING it can be long):

./main.bin --versions

Install Go-lang v1.18

./main.bin

Install a specific version

./main.bin -v 1.18

Using the script

Clone this repo

Install the python requirements

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Run The Script.
