Hi Chidiebube Amos,
Thank you for the feedback.
In Go, when you go build , the compiled executable binary will be placed in the current directory. Alternatively, if you go install , Go will place the executable binary in your $GOPATH/bin , which should be in your $PATH. So, you don’t have to keep doing go build && cp <binary> /usr/local/bin , just go install and then start using it.
It sounds to me that $GOPATH/bin is not in your $PATH . I recommend adding the following to your ~/.bashrc (on linux) or ~/.bash_profile (if on macOS): export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$PATH .
As for part 2, it is certainly in the works. I just had a full workload the past few months, but I’m slowly chipping away at the article and hope to publish it soon.
