I tried this line after searching in stackoverflow :

Solution

  • found it, it was a setup issue in the ~/.bashrc file I didn't specify exactly the GOROOT & GOPATH here's the steps to follow

    on your command line

    nano ~/bashrc

    then add this lines to the file

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

export GOPATH=/home/user/golib
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
export GOPATH=$GOPATH:/home/user/code

    save it by clicking ctrl^X

    all the dependencies will be added ;as I did understand ; to the golib folder

    then logout your session

    by the way I followed the instructions from freecodecamp video on YouTube
