What version of Go are you using (go version)?

1.14.2

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

Docker, Ubuntu 20.04, apt install per https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Ubuntu

What did you do?

docker container run -it --rm --entrypoint "/bin/bash" ubuntu:focal-20200423
apt update && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt install -y golang-1.14-go
go version

What did you expect to see?

go version 1.14.2
Or that the docs https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Ubuntu say where the binary is install to so I can add to path and set up go env vars.

What did you see instead?

bash: go: command not found

I think the wiki page is pretty clear that if you install golang-1.14-go then the go binary will be found in /usr/lib/go-1.14/bin.

Yeah, I think I'm just 💫
I would still expect you to be able to use the go binary right away after a apt-install; having to add it to path is a strange workflow, isn't it?
But my immediate issue is resolved. Thanks

To have the go tool on a standard path, I think you can install golang-go, rather than golang-1.14-go.

I don't know why the packages were set up this way. It was not done by the Go project.

I think I did try golang-go, golang-1.14 and golang-1.14-go and none did, but this was a few hours ago. I'll look into it more and try to find out where the packages were set up and try to help there.

Apologies for red herring issue here, thanks for your help :)
