在Linux上安装Go，测试失败

Question

I'm following the instructions at this page to try to install Go. I have downloaded the file and extracted it without issue. I opened the profile file and went to the end of the file where I inserted the indicated export line. I created all the indicated directories to make a tree structure, ran the export command from the bash shell, created the hello.go file as instructed.

Yet when I run go install github.com/user/hello I get the error

can't load package: package github.com/user/hello: cannot find package "github.com/user/hello" in any of:
/usr/local/go/src/github.com/user/hello (from $GOROOT)
/work/src/github.com/user/hello (from $GOPATH)

Answer 1

Try this:

export GOPATH=$HOME/work
cd $GOPATH
mkdir src
mv github.com src/

Go expects your source code to be in a directory called src.
