Hi Alan, thanks for your answer. I'm going to try the example you provided.
Sure that -u is not the way... but installing from sources is a bit tedious (and then you have to install all depdencies as well), so, as there was no easyblock for go, I was tempted to use this "dirty" aproach :-) I'll let you know if the exmaple you provided works. thanks for your help, Arnau El mar., 24 jul. 2018 a las 15:39, Alan O'Cais (<[email protected]>) escribió: > Hi Arnau, > > I've no experience with Go installations either so maybe someone else add > some pointers.
