I have set following path on my ~/.bashrc file

export GOPATH=/usr/lib/go export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin

But when i installed ATOM IDE and i tried to install go-plus package, it tired to download something at the end and i got the error that 

package github.com/nsf/gocode: cannot download, $GOPATH not set. For more details see: go help gopath

What I am doing wrong ? Here is my ubunt information as well. 

Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 15.10 Release: 15.10 Codename: wily

P.S

I have already tried setting my 

export GOPATH=/home/<username/go export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

Okay guys, I figured out the problem.

https://github.com/joefitzgerald/go-plus/issues/386

here it has been discussed. I will just copy it from that

Linux folks, particularly those running Ubuntu. I believe I have reproduced your issues and I think they have to do with where you are setting your GOPATH and PATH.

  • ~/.profile: If you set them here, $GOPATH will be set in Atom when you launch Atom for the first time from the launcher in the toolbar

  • ~/.bashrc If you set them here, $GOPATH will be set in Atom when you launch Atom for the first time from the terminal Thus, to ensure GOPATH and PATH are set correctly regardless of how you launch Atom, you should put the following (or similar) in both ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc:

export GOPATH=$HOME/work export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH

Obviously the above doesn't apply exactly if bash isn't your default shell, but I trust that if you're a user of a different shell, you can grok what I am saying above and apply the same principles to your particular environment.

I had the same issue on OSX. Weird in my case was that process.env showed I am using normal bash. This was strange, because I am using zsh. The environment variables overall were wrong and did not match the environment in my terminal at all.

Turned out I needed to set zsh as default shell. This added zsh to the list of known shells and made it the default for my user. Note that xh3b4sd is my username.

command -v zsh | sudo tee -a /etc/shells chsh -s $(which zsh) xh3b4sd

After restarting my mac the environment in the output of process.env was correct and go-plus worked as expected.
