Note that this is different from the `$GOROOT` environment variable which states where go is installed on the machine. We have to define the $GOPATH variable before using the language, in *nix systems there is a file called `.profile` we need to append the below export statement to the file. The concept behind gopath is a novel one, where we can link to any go code at any instant of time without ambiguity. Starting from go 1.8, the GOPATH environment variable now has a default value if it is unset. It defaults to $HOME/go on Unix and %USERPROFILE%/go on Windows. In Unix-like systems, the variable should be used like this: - export GOPATH=/home/apple/mygo + export GOPATH=${HOME}/mygo In Windows, you need to create a new environment variable called GOPATH, then set its value to `c:\mygo`( ***This value depends on where your workspace is located*** )
