Hope for help

@acwong00

I'm guessing you're trying to install on Sierra. It's a known issues. A source-only release is released to fix related issues. which you could find it here

You could try the following:

1. Download & build the source-only release. (https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.4-bootstrap-20170531.tar.gz)
2. Point the GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP to it.
3. Then try gvm install again.

[Rukeith]

@tkbky I still got the problem

[tkbky]

@Rukeith Do you mind to elaborate on the problem you have and steps you've taken? Have you tried to install other versions of Go?

[Rukeith]

I have try to manual delete .gvm and /usr/local/go. I reinstall gvm or brew install go or download pkg from offical website. Every time I run go command, I got this problem. I don't know how to fix this.

[tkbky]

AFAIK, there shouldn't be any problem when installing Go via brew.
Anyway, could you run the following command and show me the output you have.

$ which go
$ go version
$ echo $GOROOT
$ echo $GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP

[Rukeith]

@tkbky output is below
/usr/local/go/bin/go
go version go1.9.2 darwin/amd64
/usr/local/go
empty

[tkbky]

@Rukeith Could you also show me the errors you got?

[Rukeith]

I don't know why I reopen my terminal it show up this

$ go version
zsh: command not found: go

[tkbky]

$ go version
zsh: command not found: go

Just check your zsh configuration (~/.zprofile or ~/.zshrc), something might have messed up. Btw, this is not related to this issue, so let's not discuss it here, you may understand the problem & find the answer on SO.

[Rukeith]

Ok, I will open a new issue for this problem.
