I kept running into issues and followed the steps on here and finally got a working solution: http://totzyuta.github.io/blog/2015/06/21/installing-go-by-homebrew-on-mac-os-x/

Install w/brew:

brew install golang

Edit bash_profile and add following paths:

nano ~/.bash_profile

export GOROOT=/usr/local/opt/go/libexec
export GOPATH=$HOME/.go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin

Source it:

source ~/.bash_profile

Then restart terminal

go version

Output: go version go1.12 darwin/amd64
