Howto install Golang on VU+

Golang is becoming very popular language in the IT community.
You might want to install it on your Vu+ device in order to run some software written in Go.

1. download official binaries for ARMv6l

# wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.14.4.linux-armv6l.tar.gz​

2. verify tarball for consistency

# sha256sum go1.13.12.linux-armv6l.tar.gz​

3. extract tarball

# tar -xvf go1.13.12.linux-armv6l.tar.gz​

4. move files to system path

# mv ./go /usr/local/​

5. create bin path (if not already exist)

# mkdir /usr/local/bin​

6. create symlinks

# ln -s /usr/local/go/bin/go /usr/local/bin/
# ln -s /usr/local/go/bin/gofmt /usr/local/bin/​

7. launch go

# go version
go version go1.13.12 linux/arm

Well, personally I need to run some software written in Go on my Vu+ device:

• restic
• rclone

Is it possible by Go to read the input from a RC as it was a keyboard?

I don't know, I don't need that for my use case.
