Error after Installing on OSX

[cosmos72]

Hi Steele232,

the messages you listed from go install github.com/cosmos72/gomacro and go get -u github.com/cosmos72/gomacro seem to be warnings, not errors - so the gomacro executable should be successfully generated.

The only missing step I can think of is $PATH: go install moves the compiled executables into $GOPATH/bin and, if GOPATH is not set, it defaults to $HOME/go/bin - maybe these directories are not in your $PATH so your shell does not find gomacro. You can try both of these to see if either works (note the quotes):

"$GOPATH/bin/gomacro"
"$HOME/go/bin/gomacro"

and, in case, add either $GOPATH/bin or $HOME/go/bin to your $PATH.

Let me know if this resolves the problem.

Hey, thank you!

It looks like, somehow, my GOPATH wasn't set. I was sure I did that before, but I guess I was wrong.

This was the result of the commands you mentioned:

$ "$GOPATH/bin/gomacro"
bash: /bin/gomacro: No such file or directory
$ "$HOME/go/bin/gomacro"
