I'm trying to use Wails with Go on my Mac, but I'm having trouble setting the correct path. I have installed both Wails and Go, but when I try to build my Wails application using wails build, I get an error message saying "Go not found on path."

How do I set the correct path for Go so that Wails can find it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

To set follow these Guidelines:

devn@macbook-pro-2 ~ % wails doctor
zsh: command not found: wails
devn@macbook-pro-2 ~ % mkdir ~/go
mkdir: /Users/devn/go: File exists
devn@macbook-pro-2 ~ % export GOPATH=~/go 
devn@macbook-pro-2 ~ % go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2/cmd/wails@latest

devn@macbook-pro-2 ~ % export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin

check if the wails is installed by this command:

wails doctor

if it's not installed you can install following this command:

go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2/cmd/wails@latest

so create a new Go workspace mkdir ~/go and set the env variable export GOPATH=~/go.

Add the go bin directory to your system PATH variable export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin. After this reload your shell profile source ~/.bashrc. Finally verify if the wails is installed and working following this command:

wails version
