You should either update your version of Go, or use a binary release
for your platform.
If you find that your current version of Go is outdated and you need to update it, the process will vary based on your operating system.

For Linux users, you can update Go by running the following command in your terminal:

`sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go && wget https://golang.org/dl/go1.18.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz && sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.18.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz`

Make sure to replace `go1.18.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz` with the version number of the latest Go release.

For Windows users, you'll need to download the latest binaries from the official Go website. Here's how:

1. Visit https://golang.org/dl/ to find the latest version of Go for Windows.
2. Download the .msi file suitable for your system (either 32-bit or 64-bit).
3. Run the downloaded file and follow the installation prompts to update Go on your system.

After updating, you can verify the installation by opening a new terminal session and running `go version` to see the updated version number.
