    cd workspace
    export GOPATH=/Users/`whoami`/workspace

Install Go in linux box


Download latest GO from Here

    wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.9.linux-amd64.tar.gz
    tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.9.linux-amd64.tar.gz


Set GOPATH and PATH

    cd
    mkdir -p ~/workspace; echo "export GOPATH=$HOME/workspace" >> ~/.bashrc
    echo "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/workspace/bin:/usr/local/go/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
    source ~/.bashrc

To make life simple use the default installation path at C:\workspace
The installer should put the C:\workspace\bin directory in your PATH environment variable.

Workspaces


A workspace is a directory hierarchy with three directories at its root:

src contains Go source files,
pkg contains package objects, and
bin contains executable commands.


Source repository

If your code in a source repository somewhere. then you should use the root of that source repository as your base path inside src.
For instance, if you have a bitbucket account at bitbucket.org/user, that should be your base path.
    mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/bitbucket.org/user

Your first program

To Run a simple program, first choose a package path (bitbucket.org/user/hello)
 mkdir $GOPATH/src/bitbucket.org/user/hello

where hello is a package directory inside base path. and then create your first hello program (hello.go) inside package.
###Compile and Run
go install $GOPATH/src/bitbucket.org/user/hello
$GOPATH/bin/hello
