If you'd prefer to play with golang on linux, I've got quick a Vagrantfile ready to go at https://github.com/adlawson/vagrantfiles

    curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adlawson/vagrantfiles/master/go/Vagrantfile
    vagrant up

Why do it in a Vagrant? If you download the go tarball from golang.org, it will work just fine with no dependencies on any desktop linux. You can have multiple versions, and switch between them by changing your GOROOT.

Plus, it'll be faster.

Why do you assume we're all using a Mac?

Vagrant is available for Mac, Linux and Windows (https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html). I'm not sure what other dependency the link above would have.

No assumption, just offering another way to install.

Maybe just chill your beans and enjoy Peter's writeup.
