This question already has an answer here:
Why can't I find the version of go on my ubuntu 14.04? The output of go version doesn't give me info on whether the go is 1.7 or 1.8. Any ideas?
$ go version
go version xgcc (Ubuntu 4.9.3-0ubuntu4) 4.9.3 linux/amd64
$ uname -a
Linux jin1-hp1 3.19.0-65-generic #73~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 29 21:05:22 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Following another post, I found it from the command of docker, but I would like to find the version from go command itself.
$ docker version
Client:
Version: 1.11.2
API version: 1.23
Go version: go1.5.4
Git commit: b9f10c9
Built: Wed Jun 1 21:47:50 2016
OS/Arch: linux/amd64
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is the docker daemon running on this host?

Perhaps write a small program to print runtime.Version() ?
