Installing Go on Raspberry Pi 4

Getting Help

I have never used a raspberry pi before but I am trying it for education purposes. I am using a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. I am trying to install Go following this:
video tutorial
I have an issue; after running the code I receive following error messages:

raspberry@raspberrypi:~$ go install $GOPATH/hello.go

It seems to me that I have an incorrect go version installed (1.21.0 instead of 1.19.8). I think i installed version 1.23.2 though. I have no idea how to fix it or what went wrong, as i have no experience. Does anyone know how to fix this or know a better tutorial? All other ones I’ve tried haven’t worked either.

try “go version” ?
see https://go.dev/

I tried that, it gave me:

warning: GOPATH set to GOROOT (/home/raspberry/.local/share/go) has no effect
go version go1.22.1 linux/arm64
4

try “cat $GOPATH/hello.go”

Then I recieve the message that it hasn’t been found.

You’re running this, why can’t you check it “$GOPATH/hello.go” ?
