1. You should properly define your GO_PATH - where your go packages live. In other words, GO_PATH is your go workspace. The GO_PATH should be ~/go.

2. protoc-gen-go should be in your PATH. While protoc-gen-go lives in $GO_PATH/bin after you installed it.

Add these 2 important lines to your ~/.bash_profile:

export GO_PATH=~/go
export PATH=$PATH:/$GO_PATH/bin

Then you need to start a new shell session or just type in this line:

$ source ~/.bash_profile
