The issues are relating to an invalid GOROOT   I think you installed Go in  usr local go  So change your GOROOT path to the value of  usr local go bin   It seems that you meant to have your workspace  GOPATH  located at  home me go   This might fix your problem  Add this to the bottom of your bash profile  located here     HOME  profile  export GOROOT  usr local go export GOPATH  HOME go export PATH  PATH  GOROOT bin   Make sure to remove the old references of GOROOT   Then try installing web go again   If that doesn t work  then have Ubuntu install Go for you   sudo apt-get install golang  Video tutorial  http   www youtube com watch v 2PATwIfO5ag

The most common causes are  1  An incorrectly configured GOROOT        OR 2  GOPATH is not set

I encountered this issue when installing a different package  and it could be caused by the GOROOT and GOPATH configuration on your PATH  I tend not to set GOROOT because my OS X installation handled it  I believe  for me    Ensure the following in your  profile  or wherever you store profile configuration   bash profile   zshrc   bashrc  etc    export GOPATH  HOME go export PATH  PATH  GOROOT bin  Also  you likely want to unset GOROOT  as well  in case that path is also incorrect  Furthermore  be sure to clean your PATH  similarly to what I ve done below  just before the GOPATH assignment  i e    export PATH  HOME bin  usr local bin  PATH export GOPATH  HOME go export PATH  PATH  GOROOT bin  Then  source  lt  profile gt  to activate retry go get

unset GOROOT worked for me  As most answers suggest your GOROOT is invalid

I had exactly the same issue  after moving from old go version  installed from old PPA  to newer  1 2 1  default packages in ubuntu 14 04   The first step was to purge existing go   sudo apt-get purge golang    Which outputs following warnings   dpkg  warning  while removing golang-go  directory   usr lib go src  not empty so not removed dpkg  warning  while removing golang-go tools  directory   usr lib go  not empty so not removed   It looks like removing go leaves some files behind  which in turn can confuse newer install  More precisely  installation itself will complete fine  but afterwards any go command  like  go get something  gives those  unrecognized import path  errors   All I had to do was to remove those dirs first  reinstall golang  and all works like a charm  assuming you also set GOPATH     careful  sudo rm -rf  usr lib go  usr lib go src sudo apt-get install golang-go golang-go tools

I installed Go with brew on OSX 10 11  and found I had to set GOROOT to    usr local Cellar go 1 5 1 libexec   Of course replace the version in this path with go version you have   Brew uses symlinks  which were fooling the gotool  So follow the links home

Because GFW forbidden you to access golang org   And when i use the proxy   it can work well   you can look at the information using command   go get -v -u golang org x oauth2
