I'm trying to run the go tour program the first time following this welcome documentation.

I've run the next command:

go install golang.org/x/website/tour@latest

But when I'm trying to run go run tour I get the next exception:

package tour is not in GOROOT (/usr/local/go/src/tour)

And I haven't found any additional docs of how to run the tour program.

How to run the tour program correctly? Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

CodePudding user response：

go run tour is not the correct command.

From your link,

"This will place a tour binary in your GOPATH's bin directory"

You need to find your GOPATH's bin directory, make sure it's in your $PATH (or specify absolute or relative path including that directory).

Your go bin directory may well be ~/go/bin; mine is.

The executable you'll run is tour, not go .... So maybe ~/go/bin/tour will work for you.

Keep in mind that unlike Java, Go executables don't require a VM and so they're invoked directly.
