Beego (Golang): Create new project via CLI in Windows

I wanted to play with the Beego webframework. A simple command in the shell can setup a new project directory. If I run the following commandin Window's Powershell I get an error, because the command is unknown:

bee new beego_project

How can I register this command to make use of it?

Solution

  • Make sure your environment variables are correctly set in your Powershell setup.
    See for instance "how to modify GOPATH in powershell"

    • GOPATH needs to be set
    • %GOPAHT%\bin needs to be added to the PATH and bee must be in that folder.

    Note that you can set those variables in your %USERPROFILE%\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Profile.ps1, which is similar to a ~\.bashrc.

    The OP adds in the comments:

    I just needed to add %GOPATH%\bin to the %PATH% variable.
    Now it works also under %GOPATH%
