Please answer these questions before submitting your issue. Thanks!

What version of Go are you using (go version)?

1.8.3

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

Linux amd64

What did you do?

Installing it, the link "go" didn't get me to /usr/local/go because it has to have a symlink to /usr/bin

user@computer:~$ go
bash: /usr/bin/go: No such file or directory

What did you expect to see?

On the website, adding a command after the "export PATH" line in the "Linux install"

What did you see instead?

euh... no line of a symlink like "sudo ln -s /usr/local/go/bin/go /usr/bin/" ?

I'm confused.

How did you install it?

What commands did you run, and from where?

I was installing go language in my Linux amd64, and the error shown was that my system found the "go" command but not the "go" program... I had to symlink it in /usr/bin.
I introduce this "error" for you to add it on the "Getting Started" "Linux Install' section of you website...

Thanks.
Skwid.

For questions about Go, see https://golang.org/wiki/Questions.

I think the mailing list is the best place to resolve this.
