I've been given instructions to run go get <some-remote-git-repo>
which seems to succeed, but it's not clear to me where the package was installed to so I can run an executable from it.
Per https://golang.org/doc/code.html#remote it seems it will be installed in $GOPATH/bin
but $GOPATH
isn't defined in my shell (though the go get
command seems to work fine). Go is installed via Homebrew.
I found the missing clue by running brew info go
, which says:
==> Caveats
A valid GOPATH is required to use the `go get` command.
If $GOPATH is not specified, $HOME/go will be used by default:
https://golang.org/doc/code.html#GOPATH
From that I found the executable in question at $HOME/go/bin
.
