cannot download, $GOPATH not set

Question

I want to install json2csv using go get github.com/jehiah/json2csv but I receive this error:

package github.com/jehiah/json2csv: cannot download         


        

Answer 1

If you run into this problem after having $GOPATH set up, it may be because you're running it with an unsupported shell. I was using fish and it did not work, launching it with bash worked fine.

Answer 2

This one worked

Setting up Go development environment on Ubuntu, and how to fix $GOPATH / $GOROOT

Steps

mkdir ~/go

Set $GOPATH in .bashrc,

export GOPATH=~/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

Answer 3

Run 'go env' and see where your GOPATH is currently pointing towards. If you change to that directory, your 'go get..etc' command should work.
