Issue

Trying to install go version 1.16 using snap but not able to. can someone help.

Solution

you can run snap info go, which gives you a list of go versions.
```
`sudo snap info go`
```
Then you can install your preferred version with --channel like this.

sudo snap install go --channel=1.6/stable --classic

This will also work for upgrade / downgrade to specific version after installation. For example you want to downgrade from 1.17 go version to 1.16

  `sudo snap refresh go --channel=1.6/stable --classic`
