Command not found go — on Mac after installing Go

I installed go1.5.2 darwin/amd64, but when I run the command go version, I get an error in the terminal zsh: command not found: go.

I added the path export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin to the bash profile, but I still get the error (I restarted the terminal btw).

I uninstalled and reinstalled, but no luck.

Solution

  • Like bjhaid mentioned in the comments above:

    This is happening because you must add your PATH to your ~/.zshrc file.

    in the ~/.zshrc you should add the line:

    export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

    you should then source you .zshrc file:

    . ~/.zshrc
