Raspberry Pi 4 and Golang

[gerbreown]

Greetings:

I have just started using a Raspberry Pi 4, 4gb. I tried installing the Golang software on it and when I try to execute "go version" or any other "go command" I get the following error message: "bash: /usr/local/go/bin/go: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error"

This works fine on my Raspberry Pi3 but NOT 4.

Has the Golang not been upgraded for 4 yet or is there some other way I need to install it to get it to work on 4?

Thanks,

Gerald S. Brown

I just did

Code: Select all

sudo apt install golang

and it seemed to work fine.

$go version
go version go1.11.6 linux/arm
$

Sounds like you tried to install Windows binaries. Uninstall them, then do what jamesh recommended.

Or if you want a newer version, just use the precompiled armv6l. The go1.13.3.linux-armv6l.tar.gz should work on Raspbian.
