You can build geth either via Go:

go install ./cmd/geth

Or if you don't have a Go development environment set up and configured via make:

make geth

Fixed by upgrade go from 1.5(default in system repository) to 1.8.3.

@knoxcard You need Go, to build geth.

After running command make geth I am getting this error--
build/env.sh go run build/ci.go install ./cmd/geth

@KingsonSingh You need Go 1.9 or later.
