Installing Singularity version: 3.6.3 in Ubuntu Linux

 I was facing the following error when installing singularity:

checking: host Go compiler (at least version 1.20)... not found! mconfig: could not complete configuration

Running the following commands in terminal, resolved the problem by installing singularity version: 3.6.3
