I am learning how to create packages and documentation with Go and I cannot get godoc to work on my M1 Macbook Pro. I have installed it via go install golang.org/x/tools/cmd/godoc@latest and when I try to run godoc -http=:8080 my terminal says: zsh: command not found: godoc any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have also tried running export PATH="$GOPATH/bin:$PATH" to no avail, based on the answers in another SO thread.

I saw some answers about editing ~./zshrc however I have no such file on my computer and dont know how to edit it anyway. If that is the answer help there is appreciated as well!

results of go version: go version go1.19.4 darwin/arm64

Results of which go: /usr/local/go/bin/go

  • If you don't already have a `~/.zshrc`, you can run `autoload -U zsh-newuser-install && zsh-newuser-install -f` which will walk you through creating one (see [the docs on that](https://zsh.sourceforge.io/Doc/Release/User-Contributions.html#User-Configuration-Functions)). Then you can add your GOBIN like so: `echo -n 'export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.zshrc`, and then `source ~/.zshrc` (or see the other options [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11530090/adding-a-new-entry-to-the-path-variable-in-zsh). Assuming there are no errors with the `go install`, this _should_ get you working. – Zac Anger Jan 17 '23 at 03:07
  • you need to check where the binary file `godoc` is installed, if it is in the path `$GOPATH/bin` then adding it `$PATH` will solve this issue. However, if it is not installed or installed in some other dir(`$GOROOT/bin` for instance), you will have to add that path. – whitespace Jan 17 '23 at 07:35
