After installing go, I got the following lines:
On OS X the debuggers must be installed setgrp procmod. Read and run ./sudo.bash to install the debuggers.
Sorry for the beginner question, but what exactly does this mean? What do I have to do to install the debuggers?
I ran ./sudo.bash but nothing happened. Am I reading this too literally?
In theory, you simply do as you did, and it copies the binaries from the build area to /usr/local/bin and then makes them belong to group procmod and SetGID.
Consider running:
sh -x sudo.bash
That should show you what it is doing as it does it.
I don't entirely agree with what that script does; I want the Go debuggers not in /usr/local/bin, thank you, but under $GOROOT, so I don't use the official sudo.bash but instead created my own sudo.bash.goroot which contains:
#!/usr/bin/env bash

sudo cp "$GOROOT"/src/cmd/$i/6$i $GOROOT/bin/6$i
sudo chgrp procmod $GOROOT/bin/6$i
sudo chmod g+s $GOROOT/bin/6$i
done
That works fine for me.
