Hello Steve, that looks very promising, thank you so much! I just tried on GCE, here is a gist <https://gist.github.com/Deleplace/bfaff085b813cd8c602a253ca45e46ac>. Possible quirk : $ go version go: cannot find GOROOT directory: /usr/local/go $ go doc fmt go: cannot find GOROOT directory: /usr/local/go $ go get github.com/gorilla/mux go: cannot find GOROOT directory: /usr/local/go
Note that I didn't try to sudo anything. Questions: - is it recommanded to set the GOPATH variable, even since 17262 <https://github.com/golang/go/issues/17262> and go 1.8 seem to regard ~/go as a cromulent default? - might it be possible to avoid to extra step "One more thing! ... ... ... or open a new shell prompt", by sourcing everything needed? Something like curl -LO https://get.golang.org/$(uname)/go_installer_script && source go_installer_script This one-liner project will bring all of us command-line users a super-nice developer UX, especially when frequently installing Go to new machines :) Cheers Valentin On Tuesday, August 1, 2017 at 9:42:00 PM UTC+2, Steve Francia wrote: > > Greetings Gophers, > > I've been working on a "one line installer" for Go with Jess Frazelle and > Chris Broadfoot and we think it's ready to share a bit more broadly. > > The installer is designed to both install Go as well as do the initial > configuration of setting up the right environment variables and paths. > It will install the Go distribution (tools & stdlib) to "/.go" inside your > home directory by default. > It will setup "$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. * > > The source can be found at > https://go.googlesource.com/tools/+/master/cmd/getgo/ > If you find any issues please report them on Github > https://github.com/golang/go/issues/new?title=tools/cmd/getgo: > > Thanks, > Steve > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
