Fresh installation failure for `gvm install go1.13.7`

[chenrui333]

With doing fresh installation, I have run into this issue:

$ gvm install go1.13.7
Installing go1.13.7...
 * Compiling...
/Users/rchen/.gvm/scripts/install: line 84: go: command not found
ERROR: Failed to compile. Check the logs at /Users/rchen/.gvm/logs/go-go1.13.7-compile.log
ERROR: Failed to use installed version

Commands I have run:

• bash < <(curl -s -S -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moovweb/gvm/master/binscripts/gvm-installer)
• gvm install go1.13.7

Solution:

• brew install go, install go 1.13.7
• gvm install go1.13.7 now works

$ gvm install go1.13.7
Installing go1.13.7...
 * Compiling...
go1.13.7 successfully installed!

I should probably check for go and install the latest binary if not present..

[yorci]

Another solution for that problem:

gvm install [tag] -B

That because when you run install command without -B option, it downloads go source and try to compile but it cant compile if go is not installed. ( atleast i think bcuz of that :) )

With -B option, it downloads compiled binary go.

gvm install [tag] -B

Installs now but still get error on Catalina 10.15.3 with zsh

% gvm install go1.4 -B
Installing go1.4 from binary source

% gvm list

gvm gos (installed)

go1.4

% gvm use go1.4 Now using version go1.4

And then

% gvm implode gvm_implode:read:1: -p: no coprocess

Action cancelled

@ctopinka I had the same issue.

Tried simply skipping the instructions in the readme to download 1.4 first and started with this. gvm install go1.14.1 -B

then

gvm use go1.14.1

and it worked.
