How To Install Go Language in Kali Linux for Bug Bounty Hunting

Hi all, we will see how to install the go language in Kali Linux.

In Kali Linux, we do have a go language package but using it we can’t do much like installing multiple tools written in go lang for bug bounty hunting, etc., and sometimes it is an old version of go.

So, to run all tools we need to install go lang manually from an external source that is from the go lang website only.

Now, please follow the below instructions properly and then you good go…!!!

▶ Open terminal

▶ Run : sudo su

▶ Visit : https://golang.org/dl/

▶ You can download latest go Lang for Linux via GUI or CLI (will do it using CLI)
▶ Download latest go Lang for Linux

▶ Run : wget https://golang.org/dl/go[version]linux-amd64.tar.gz

▶ Extract the archive you downloaded into /usr/local, creating a Go tree in /usr/local/go

▶ Run : rm -rf /usr/local/go && tar -C /usr/local -xzf go[Version]linux-amd64.tar.gz

▶ Add environment PATH variables for go Lang :

▶ Run : nano ~/.zshrc

Go to the bottom of this file and enter below lines -

GOPATH=/root/go-workspace
export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin/:$GOPATH/bin

▶ Click : CTRL+O and press ENTER to save the file
▶ Click : To exit from this file click CTRL+X
To refresh the terminal
