Where Do Packages Installed by `go get` Go?

Locating Packages Installed by go get

When running go get , where are the packages installed? This common question arises when attempting to execute executables from installed packages.

According to the Go documentation, packages are expected to be installed in $GOPATH/bin. However, if $GOPATH is not set, Go will default to $HOME/go as the installation directory.

To verify this behavior, you can check the output of brew info go, which confirms the use of $HOME/go if $GOPATH is not defined. This explains why the go get command works even though $GOPATH is not explicitly set in your shell environment.

Consequently, the executable in question can be found in $HOME/go/bin. This is also where you will find any other executables installed using go get.
