Add required paths to the PATH environment variable by inserting the lines below in your /etc/profile file for a system-wide installation or $HOME/.profile or $HOME./bash_profile for user specific installation:

Using your preferred editor, open the appropriate user profile file as per your distribution and add the lines below, save the file and exit:

export GOPATH="$HOME/go"
export GOBIN="$GOPATH/bin"
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin"
export PATH="$PATH:$GOBIN"

The final step under this section is to effect the changes made to the user profile in the current bash session like so:

$ source ~/.profile
OR
$ source ~/.bash_profile
OR
$ source ~/.zshrc
