I have few apps cloned from github, but not sure if I do everything right. I recently installed go.
$ go
Go is a tool for managing Go source code.
Usage:

The commands are:

clean remove object files
doc show documentation for package or symbol
env print Go environment information
fix run go tool fix on packages
fmt run gofmt on package sources
generate generate Go files by processing source
get download and install packages and dependencies
install compile and install packages and dependencies
list list packages
run compile and run Go program
test test packages
tool run specified go tool

Use "go help [command]" for more information about a command.
Additional help topics:
c calling between Go and C
buildmode description of build modes
filetype file types
gopath GOPATH environment variable
environment environment variables
importpath import path syntax
packages description of package lists
testflag description of testing flags

Use "go help [topic]" for more information about that topic.
And I have things configured accordingly (exported variables etc..) also added them into ~/.bashrc however I still need to change directory and go to my go/bin folder.. is this what all are doing or there is something I can change. Would be great if you can point me on some sort of docs (not go lang please!).
I am on Mac OS X.
Verify that the binary you are trying to run is in your $GOPATH/bin
directory, e.g. it should appear when you run ls $GOPATH/bin
Next, verify that $GOPATH/bin
is in your $PATH
, e.g. it should appear with echo $PATH
. If this $GOPATH/bin
is not in your $PATH
, add it e.g. export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$PATH
(you may want to add this to your .bashrc
).
You can run go env
to see your $GOPATH
and some environment variable
In Mac OS X, open terminal
create a .profile file
touch .profile
edit it
vim .profile
add this to your first line
export GOPATH=$HOME/work/
or whatever directory your Go files are in
save :w
and quit :q
restart terminal
change to your new GOPATH/bin directory to confirm
cd $GOPATH/bin
