Unable to install Beego framwork with GoLang on mac system

Question

I am new in Go Lang and I am trying to install Beego framework on my mac system. But I am not sure how to install Beego and bee tools. I referred couple of sites but unable to find/resolve actual issue.

I am using below version of GO. go version go1.17.5 darwin/amd64

I am trying to install Beego from this website: https://beego.vip/ with command: go get github.com/beego/beego/[email protected]

After this it downloaded few files but I am not sure how to check if Beego is installed properly or not.

go env file

I have also installed. https://beego.vip/docs/install/bee.md

But when I am executing command like bee version I am getting error sh: bee: command not found

I also read that I need to set GOPATH and GOROOT values but not sure how to add those values.

export GOPATH=
export GOROOT=

Which values I need to set here?

Can you please guide me here?

Answer 1

It depends on which shell you are using. You have to add the variable to the configuration file of your terminal.

In my case, I'm using zsh/zshrc.

try this:

• go install github.com/beego/bee/v2@latest

• nano ~/.zshrc

• Add the lines below, and save the file.

export GOPATH="$HOME/go"
export PATH="$GOPATH/bin:$PATH"

• Close and re-open the terminal

Now, you should be able to run bee version
