How to install the current version of Go in Ubuntu Precise

Question

Running sudo apt-get install golang-stable, I get Go version go1.0.3. Is there any way to install go1.1.1?

Answer 1

I used following commands from GoLang official repository, it installed GoLang version 1.6 on my Ubuntu 14.04

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-lxc/lxd-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install golang

Reference official GoLang Repo https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Ubuntu it seems this ppa will always be updated in future.
