What did you do?

I installed the go tour via go get golang.org/x/tour

What did you expect to see?

A browser opening go tour

What did you see instead?

I guess I found the issue: I had to turn off GO111MODULE
export GO111MODULE=off

is that expected? What would be the right way to install tour with GO111MODULE=on?

[agnivade]

In module mode, binaries are installed in $GOBIN or $GOPATH/bin

Feel free to reach out to the forums in https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Questions for further questions.

With export GO111MODULE=off set, I'm still getting

Couldn't find tour files: could not find go-tour content; check $GOROOT and $GOPATH

I'm new to golang. Wondering if this is an issue for go-tour.

Solved: Oh I ran the go get golang.org/x/tour in a go module directory. Running the go get in a non-go-module directory solved the issue.

Following this guide(in Chinese) , you should copy files from $GOPATH/pkg/mod/golang.org/x/tour@VERSIONINFO to $GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/tour.

Use this script in Powershell if you like:

Copy-Item -Force -Recurse -Container $env:GOPATH\pkg\mod\golang.org\x\tour@*\* $env:GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/tour/
