术语“ go”不被识别为cmdlet，函数，脚本文件或可操作程序的名称

Question

After running...

go run main.go

I get this error

go : The term 'go' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify
that the path is correct and try again.

Answer 1

SOLVED: Go to visual studio code (assuming this is installed) ctrl + shift + p to open command window type

Go: current GOPATH

this should give you a path create a system environment variable named GOPATH and add that path into that variable.

Make sure the system environment variables are set to:

GOPATH is set (in my case) to C:\Users[username]\go

GOROOT is set to C:\go\

IDE is Visual Studio Code.
