I just got access to a powerful Minski IBM machine (Linux) and intend on running some go scripts on it. I have gone through a lot of the versions of golang and tried installing and using them on the machine but none of them seem to work. Is there some special version of GO that I need that is specially designed to work on this powerful computer.
I have now tried installing about 4 or 5 different versions but still keep getting:
The program 'go' is currently not installed. To run 'go' please ask your administrator to install the package 'golang-go'
I was told that there is no need for an administrator to do a system wide install and to just install golang on my machine.
I have been using this step-by-step to install GO on this machine: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-go-1-6-on-ubuntu-14-04
I do not have root access on this machine, just FYI
EDIT: Problem solved
Had to use:
curl -O storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.8.3.linux-ppc64le.tar.gz
