Cannot Download, $GOPATH Not Set
Answer :
[Update: as of Go 1.8, GOPATH
defaults to $HOME/go
, but you may still find this useful if you want to understand the GOPATH
layout, customize it, etc.]
The official Go site discusses GOPATH and how to lay out a workspace directory.
export GOPATH="$HOME/your-workspace-dir/"
-- run it in your shell, then add it to ~/.bashrc
or equivalent so it will be set for you in the future. Go will install packages under src/
, bin/
, and pkg/
, subdirectories there. You'll want to put your own packages somewhere under $GOPATH/src
, like $GOPATH/src/github.com/myusername/
if you want to publish to GitHub. You'll also probably want export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
in your .bashrc
so you can run compiled programs under $GOPATH
.
Optionally, via Rob Pike, you can also set CDPATH
so it's faster to cd
to package dirs in bash: export CDPATH=.:$GOPATH/src/github.com:$GOPATH/src/golang.org/x
means you can just type cd net/html
instead of cd $GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/net/html
.
Keith Rarick notes you can set GOPATH=$HOME
to put Go's src/
, pkg/
and bin/
directories right under your homedir. That can be nice (for instance, you might already have $HOME/bin
in your path) but of course some folks use multiple workspaces, etc.

Setting up Go development environment on Ubuntu, and how to fix GOROOT
Steps
mkdir ~/go
Set $GOPATH in .bashrc,
export GOPATH=~/go export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
Using brew
I installed it using brew
.
$ brew install go
When it was done if you run this brew command it'll show the following info:
$ brew info go go: stable 1.4.2 (bottled), HEAD Go programming environment https://golang.org /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.4.2 (4676 files, 158M) * Poured from bottle From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/go.rb ==> Options --with-cc-all Build with cross-compilers and runtime support for all supported platforms --with-cc-common Build with cross-compilers and runtime support for darwin, linux and windows --without-cgo Build without cgo --without-godoc godoc will not be installed for you --without-vet vet will not be installed for you --HEAD Install HEAD version ==> Caveats As of go 1.2, a valid GOPATH is required to use the `go get` command: https://golang.org/doc/code.html#GOPATH You may wish to add the GOROOT-based install location to your PATH: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/opt/go/libexec/bin
The important pieces there are these lines:
/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.4.2 (4676 files, 158M) *
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/opt/go/libexec/bin
Setting up GO's environment
That shows where GO was installed. We need to do the following to setup GO's environment:
$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/opt/go/libexec/bin $ export GOPATH=/usr/local/opt/go/bin
You can then check using GO to see if it's configured properly:
$ go env GOARCH="amd64" GOBIN="" GOCHAR="6" GOEXE="" GOHOSTARCH="amd64" GOHOSTOS="darwin" GOOS="darwin" GOPATH="/usr/local/opt/go/bin" GORACE="" GOROOT="/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.4.2/libexec" GOTOOLDIR="/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.4.2/libexec/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64" CC="clang" GOGCCFLAGS="-fPIC -m64 -pthread -fno-caret-diagnostics -Qunused-arguments -fmessage-length=0 -fno-common" CXX="clang++" CGO_ENABLED="1"
Setting up json2csv
Looks good, so lets install json2csv
:
$ go get github.com/jehiah/json2csv $
What just happened? It installed it. You can check like this:
$ $ ls -l $GOPATH/bin total 5248 -rwxr-xr-x 1 sammingolelli staff 2686320 Jun 9 12:28 json2csv
OK, so why can't I type json2csv
in my shell? That's because the /bin
directory under $GOPATH
isn't on your $PATH
.
$ type -f json2csv -bash: type: json2csv: not found
So let's temporarily add it:
$ export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$PATH
And re-check:
$ type -f json2csv json2csv is hashed (/usr/local/opt/go/bin/bin/json2csv)
Now it's there:
$ json2csv --help Usage of json2csv: -d=",": delimiter used for output values -i="": /path/to/input.json (optional; default is stdin) -k=[]: fields to output -o="": /path/to/output.json (optional; default is stdout) -p=false: prints header to output -v=false: verbose output (to stderr) -version=false: print version string
Add the modifications we've made to $PATH
and $GOPATH
to your $HOME/.bash_profile
to make them persist between reboots.
