+#### Go Toolchain ####
+
+The version of Go provided via `apt-get` is always out of date, so all Go
+installs on this server are done via tarball from the <https://golang.com>
+website. Go 1.16.3 is used for this example but the newest version of Go may be
+found at <https://golang.org/dl/>.
+
+Previous versions of Go are installed entirely under `/usr/local/go`. Delete
+the entire `/usr/local/go` directory before proceeding.
+
+ wget https://golang.org/dl/go1.16.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
+ tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.16.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
+
+If this is the first time installing Go on the system, update everyone's
+`$PATH` to include `/usr/local/go/bin`. Remember to update files under
+`/etc/skel` at the same time.
