I'm attempting to get go version go1.6.4 darwin/amd64 installed on my Macbook Pro.
I can't seem to download remote packages with 'go get' despite having the $GOPATH set. $ go env
GOARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="darwin"
GOOS="darwin"
GOPATH="/Users/Bryan/go"

$ sudo go get
Password:
package google.golang.org/appengine: cannot download, $GOPATH not set. For more details see: go help gopath

Your $GOPATH is set in your user $PATH, but you are envoking go get using sudo which has its own $PATH different from yours.
To illustrate, try sudo go env and you will see the difference.
You probably shouldn't be using sudo go get anyway though.
