I'm trying to install Go, gRPC and Protobuf but I cant even install Go in the first place.

I followed steps mentioned in this site: 

https://tecadmin.net/install-go-on-centos/

My bash_profile file looks like this now:

http://prntscr.com/nf2bm9

And when I try to test go installation by typing "go version" in the console I get this error:

-bash: go: command not found

Where did I go wrong?

Note: I navigated to /usr/local/ to see if there is any go folder with files or not to confirm the files has been downloaded and moved at the right place.

    Did you relaunch your terminal for the `.bash_profile` to take effect? Are you *using* Bash? Have you done `echo $PATH` in the terminal to make sure the PATH is correct? Have you checked that `/usr/local/go/bin` exists? – ceejayoz Apr 22 '19 at 01:15

    Didnt knew that I had to close and open a new Terminal Window. I just did echo $PATH and it spit out this and I dont even know what Im looking at : /home/ec2-user/ec2-user/GoServerFolder/bin:/usr/local/go/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/ec2-user/.local/bin:/home/ec2-user/bin –  Apr 22 '19 at 01:18
  • I dont know why it spit out "ec2-user" 2 times, because I only have 1 folder with that name. –  Apr 22 '19 at 01:20
  • @ceejayoz Do you think everything is fine? Am I over reacting? –  Apr 22 '19 at 01:23
  • Well, does `go version` work after relaunching your terminal? – ceejayoz Apr 22 '19 at 01:24
  • Yes "go version" works. –  Apr 22 '19 at 01:34
  • Then it sounds like things work fine. `$PATH` tells your terminal where to look for executables, separated by `:` marks. You have several subfolders of `ec2-user`; that's fairly common. – ceejayoz Apr 22 '19 at 01:38

Changes to your .bash_profile file only take effect after you relaunch the terminal.

source ~/.bash_profile will reload it in your current session, if you'd rather take that approach.
