## Update Golang version on Linux
&nbsp;
1) Remove old installation; default folder is `/usr/local/go`, but it may be different.
```
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
```
&nbsp;
2) Download Go
```
wget -O golang.tar.gz https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.9.linux-amd64.tar.gz
```
&nbsp;
3) Extract the archive into `/usr/local/go` (or different folder - depends on your installation)

```
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf golang.tar.gz
```
&nbsp;
4) Test if it's OK
```
go version
```
