Installing go1.20.2 line 85: go: command not found about gvm

Oh I see. I misread the error message. Looks like all you need to do is add the -B flag. I repro-ed on a clean docker image and tried a different command - leading to resolution.

So use the binary install: gvm install go1.20 -B followed by gvm use go 1.20

And if you haven't already, make sure to install the recommended packages first.

suggest: goenv

I can see that you're currently using go1.4. I was on something like go1.10. I had a similar issue when I attempted to get the latest version earlier today and I had to install an intermediate package (go1.17).

gvm install go1.17
gvm use go1.17

Then followed by the version I wanted

gvm install go.1.20
gvm use go1.20

This seemed to resolve any issues.

I am running a MaOS and never installed any go version before and in fact I don't have any go versions installed at the moment.

if use -B, got ERROR: Binary Go unavailable for this platform

I was on Ubuntu 22, had the same issue. No problem on my MacOS.
The '-B' option you suggested worked for me, thank you so much!
