Does go assume that you have a directory in $HOME that is for it&amp;#x27;s own personal use?</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>nonameiguess</author><text>He obviously wasn&amp;#x27;t clear enough about this, but if you&amp;#x27;re just trying to use the tool, download the binary release. Don&amp;#x27;t use go get as an installer. They&amp;#x27;re trying to be multi-OS compatible, an autotools that doesn&amp;#x27;t assume every system has a &amp;#x2F;usr&amp;#x2F;local or whatever the Windows equivalent but not assuming everyone has a %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Low\Roaming or whatever. It does assume everyone has a home directory and an environment variable indicating where that is.</text></comment>
