Answer 1

Try re-install the revel

Here is how I have tried and it works for me.

1. Set the go path ($GOPATH):

export GOPATH=/var/projects/go

2. Install revel & cmd:

  go get github.com/revel/revel
  go get github.com/revel/cmd/revel

3. Link revel cmd to bin directory. So the command could be executable.

export PATH="$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

4. Check revel is working or not. Just type revel in command line

Output would be like this

    Usage:
      revel [OPTIONS] <command>

    Application Options:
      -v, --debug              If set the logger is set to verbose
          --historic-run-mode  If set the runmode is passed a string not json
      -X, --build-flags=       These flags will be used when building the application. May be specified multiple times, only applicable for Build, Run,
                               Package, Test commands

    Available commands:
      build
      clean
      new
      package
      run
      test
      version

5. Check revel version:

revel version

Output

    Revel executing: displays the Revel Framework and Go version
    Revel Framework :   0.21.0  (0.21.0 remote master branch)
    Revel Cmd   :   0.21.1  (0.21.1 remote master branch)
    Revel Modules   :   0.21.0  (0.21.0 remote master branch)

6. Now, You can create first project using command

revel new myapp

Output

    Revel executing: create a skeleton Revel application
    Your application has been created in:
       /var/projects/go/src/myapp

    You can run it with:
    revel run -a  myapp
