Answer 1

On OSX Mojave 10.14, go is typically installed at /usr/local/go.

Hence, setup these ENVs and you should be good to go.

export GOPATH=/usr/local/go && export GOBIN=/usr/local/go/bin

Also, add these to your bash_profile or zsh_profile if it works.

echo "export GOPATH=/usr/local/go && export GOBIN=/usr/local/go/bin" >> ~/.bash_profile && source ~/.bash_profile
