[Bug] Installing in wrong directory #5

Closed Avaray closed 7 years ago

Avaray commented 7 years ago

For example, this is my GOROOT path: C:\PROGRAMMING\GO If I will use command gvm install 1.8 it will download and unpack Go into C:\PROGRAMMING If I set GOROOT path for C:\PROGRAMMING\GO\GO it will download and unpack into C:\PROGRAMMING\GO

GVM is always installing one directory above. Im using Win 8.1. I don't know why is like that.

Sorry, I haven't maintained this project hence the very late reply. However this is the expected behaviour. gvm install downloads files adjacent to your GOROOT as I explain in the readme. Reason for this is to keep all Go versions in the same directory, and then other gvm commands look in this directory. GOROOT will be set to one of these directories, and gvm use will switch GOROOT between folders in this directory.
