I am trying to install Go inside an Alpine Docker image. For that I downloaded tar file from here inside my alpine docker image, untar it using following command:
tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.10.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
exported PATH to have go binary as:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
However, when I say go version
then it says that sh: go: not found
. I am quite new to alpine. Does anyone know, what I am missing here?
Steps to reproduce-
$ docker run -it alpine sh
$ wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.10.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.10.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
$ go version
Thanks BMitch.
I compiled the go source code and performed the below steps inside alpine image container.
echo "installing go version 1.10.3..."
apk add --no-cache --virtual .build-deps bash gcc musl-dev openssl go
# download go tar
wget -O go.tgz https://dl.google.com/go/go1.10.3.src.tar.gz
tar -C /usr/local -xzf go.tgz
cd /usr/local/go/src/
# compile code
./make.bash
export PATH="/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH"
export GOPATH=/opt/go/
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
apk del .build-deps
go version
