Install go with brew, and running the gotour
I think I have found the solution, I should have exported:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.0.2/bin/
Instead of
GOPATH=/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.0.2/src/pkg/code.google.com/p/
export GOPATH
Since thats where 'go get' puts the binaries (I guess). gotour is working:
$ gotour

Btw I based my answer on this post
http://code.google.com/p/go-tour/issues/detail?id=39 where they talk about exporting:
/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.0.2/src/pkg/code.google.com/p/
And the getting started page from go: http://golang.org/doc/install where they say you have to export:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
Installing go 1.4 with homebrew on OSX:
1) Create Directories
mkdir $HOME/Go
mkdir -p $HOME/Go/src/github.com/user
2) Setup your paths
export GOPATH=$HOME/Go
export GOROOT=/usr/local/opt/go/libexec
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
3) Install Go
brew install go
4) "go get" the basics
go get golang.org/x/tools/cmd/godoc
5) Start here: https://golang.org/doc/code.html at "your first program"
Following a mix of answers above, this is what worked for me on OSX 10.12 (Sierra)
and Go v1.7.1
using Homebrew:
I added this from Kosh's answer to my .zshrc
or .bashrc
:
# Go development
export GOPATH="${HOME}/.go"
export GOROOT="$(brew --prefix golang)/libexec"
export PATH="$PATH:${GOPATH}/bin:${GOROOT}/bin"
test -d "${GOPATH}" || mkdir "${GOPATH}"
test -d "${GOPATH}/src/github.com" || mkdir -p "${GOPATH}/src/github.com"
Then in a new terminal window/tab:
$ brew install go

==> 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
