If you get something like this:

package github.com/gin-gonic/gin: cannot download, $GOPATH not set. For more details see: go help gopath

or this:

go tool: no such tool "6g"

And your favorit GNU/Linux distribution named Ubuntu.

Let see:

First! Install golang-gcc and gotool etc. from Ubuntu repository:

sudo apt-get install golang golang-go.tools gccgo-go git mercurial

Next. Set correct GOROOT, GOPATH and PATH for you user.

Just add down code in to ~/.bashrc:

export GOROOT=/usr/lib/go
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin

Now, you can run your code:

$ go run foo.go
Hello, 世界

or download some library into your GOPATH

 go get -u github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs
