I am new to Vault, Following Vault official installation steps after installing the go lang getting

As you’re trying to compile software (although it is Vault) you’re probably better off posting this in a golang forum, as it really isn’t Vault (application) related.

looks like you are missing the compiler itself. You probably want to apt install golang before trying to compile Go source code?

Thanks for your reply but after making install golang, there is compatibility issue with vault. Vault is looking for v1.17.5 but after making install golang getting go version “go1.13.8 linux/amd64”. I am trying over Ubuntu 20.04 focal fossa.

Thanks
