使用场景
有新的Go版本出来后，我们通常使用go install来进行安装，我们以Mac安装go 1.18 beta 2版本为例进行说明，其它操作系统类似。
使用go install安装go1.18beta2的最新版本
go install golang.org/dl/go1.18beta2@latest
执行这条命令的结果是会下载go1.18beta2这个可执行程序文件到本地，那会有3个疑问：
-
go1.18beta2可执行文件存放在哪里？ -
go1.18beta2要怎么使用？ -
go1.18beta2的源码存放在哪里？
go1.18beta2 可执行文件存放在哪里？
go install [build flags] [packages]
Install compiles and installs the packages named by the import paths.
Executables are installed in the directory named by the GOBIN environment variable, which defaults to HOME/go/bin if the GOPATH environment variable is not set. Executables in GOROOT/bin or GOBIN.
- 如果设置了
GOPATH环境变量，go1.18beta2会安装到$GOPATH/bin目录下 - 如果没有设置
GOPATH环境变量，go1.18beta2会安装到$HOME/go/bin目录下
一般都会设置GOPATH环境变量，可以使用如下命令查看GOPATH的值
go env GOPATH
安装完之后可以去对应目录查看是否存在go1.18beta2 文件。
go1.18beta2要怎么使用？
通过上面go install下载到的go1.18beta2可执行文件其实还不能直接使用。
比如执行go1.18beta2 version命令，会得到如下结果：
go1.18beta2: not downloaded. Run 'go1.18beta2 download' to install to
/Users/xxx/sdk/go1.18beta2
因此还要使用go1.18beta2 download下载go1.18beta2版本的源码。

Unpacking /Users/xxx/sdk/go1.18beta2/go1.18beta2.darwin-amd64.tar.gz ...
Success. You may now run 'go1.18beta2'
下载完毕后，就可以使用go1.18beta2命令来测试和验证新版本的Go了。
$ go1.18beta2 version
go version go1.18beta2 darwin/amd64
go1.18beta2的源码存放在哪里？
执行go1.18beta2 download之前，如果使用go1.18beta2 version命令会提示源码安装位置：
go1.18beta2: not downloaded. Run 'go1.18beta2 download' to install to
/Users/xxx/sdk/go1.18beta2
执行 `go1.18beta2 download之后，也提示了源码安装位置：
Unpacking /Users/xxx/sdk/go1.18beta2/go1.18beta2.darwin-amd64.tar.gz ...
Success. You may now run 'go1.18beta2'
因此源码安装位置就在$HOME/sdk目录下。
执行go1.18beta2 env GOROOT也可以查看到源码地址：
$ go1.18beta2 env GOROOT
/Users/xxx/sdk/go1.18beta2
