EC2 Ubuntu hangs on go install

Question

I am running the golang rest API on the ec2 instance which is working properly but when I make any changes in the code and run "go install" the ec2 console stops responding and I have to reboot the instance. ec2 instance is running with 4 GB ram and ubuntu 2.0.
 How do I  debug and fix this issue?

Answer 1

• Add the -x command-line option to the go install call.
• Make sure that the output it generates to its standard error stream gets collected somewhere where you can read it.  
• Then run it and try to make out which step hangs.
• The command-line option makes go install be (very) verbose about what it does.

I hope this helps you.
