Cannot set $GOPATH on Mac OSX

Question

I\'m trying to set my $GOPATH variable to run some example code on my machine:

$ smitego-example go run main.go 
main.go:5:2: cannot find packag         


        

Answer 1

The accepted answer didn't work for me. I investigated and found the cause: I am using zsh, not bash.

I need to add the following two lines to ~/.zshrc:

export GOPATH=/Users/username/go
export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$PATH
