Add the packages that need to be install via aptitude or a similar package manager.

As far as I can tell, it should only be: sudo apt install golang-go sqlite3

Will save people a tiny bit of time and prevent errors. Thanks!

Thanks, but there is no standardized package management across Linux distributions, Alpine uses apk, Red Hat has its own, so does SuSE, and so on. Not to mention non-Linux OSes like OpenBSD or Illumos.

I looked at golang.org’s own downloads page and they do not have any instructions on using native package managers, so there doesn’t seem to be one convenient cross-platform page I could link to.

Can you just list the names of the packages then, with an example for one or two common package managers (like apt, yum, apk). For example, under the "Building" section:

Step 1: Install Dependencies.

  • Using Ubuntu/Debian, use sudo apt install golang-go sqlite3
  • Using Red Hat, use sudo yum install golang-go sqlite3
    Use the appropriate package manager for your system.
