  • Also make sure you using the latest version of go, this might affect the download.

    Can you check if there's an instance running? ps -ef | grep -i geth. Worst case you can restart the machine.

  • @jojeyh I'm sorry for the late reply. Yes you are completely right. I just did 'sudo apt-get upgrade' then it worked. If you post it as the answer, I'll accept it. Thank you so much.
