Environment Setup

After installation, source the aliases to apply Go environment variables:

source ~/.bash_aliases

Or add to your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc):

export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
export GOPATH=$HOME/go-workspace
export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$GOROOT/bin:$PATH

Logging

The script provides color-coded output:

• [INFO] - Informational messages and successful operations
• [WARN] - Warnings and non-critical issues
• [ERROR] - Error messages

Troubleshooting

Go Installation Issues

If Go installation fails, check:

• Internet connection: ping go.dev
• Available disk space: df -h /usr/local
• Permissions: Ensure sudo access

Package Installation Failures

Some packages may fail due to:

• Missing dependencies: Install manually with sudo apt-get install <package>
• Repository issues: Update repositories with sudo apt-get update
• Deprecated packages: Check if they're still maintained

Python 2 Deprecation

Python 2 is deprecated. If installation fails:

• This is expected on newer Ubuntu versions
• The script will skip Python 2 pip if unavailable
• Use Python 3 alternatives when possible

Snap Installation Issues

If snap packages fail:

• Ensure snapd is installed: sudo apt-get install snapd
• Check snap permissions: sudo usermod -aG snap $USER

Performance Tips

1. Run on fresh Ubuntu install - Fewer conflicts and faster installation
2. Use SSD - Significantly faster than HDD for installations
3. Close other applications - Free up system resources
4. Run during off-peak hours - Better download speeds
5. Use screen or tmux - Keeps installation running if SSH disconnects

screen -S install
sudo ./install.sh
# Press Ctrl+A then D to detach
screen -r install  # To reattach
