如何全局设置Go环境变量

Question

when I declare my Go environment (namely GOPATH and GOROOT using simple export:

export GOROOT=/usr/lib/go-1.9/
export GOPATH=/my/workspace/go

the current terminal recognizes the variables normally, but if I open another terminal window, these variables are not set and they need to be reconfigured from scratch. How can I change this variables to become permanent for the system (and all future terminals)? Is there some file I need to alter or should I execute a different command?

As explained here you just need to include exports export GOROOT=/usr/lib/go-1.9/ export GOPATH=/my/workspace/go at the bottom of the file ~/.profile in your home directory
