golangci-lint: command not found

[cx-pavel-monin]

Hello!
I am trying to install golangci-lint and it installs fine. But when I try to use it, I get a message like this:
golangci-lint: command not found
I tried all the options from https://golangci-lint.run/usage/install/ but nothing works.

What did I miss?

Hello,

the binary path must be referenced in your PATH

[cx-pavel-monin]

What is binary path?
My PATH is $(go env GOPATH) ?

[cx-pavel-monin]

I added it in PATH export
PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin/golangci-lint
And I stay in ~/go/bin$ try to use golangci-lint and stell got the same error.

You shouldn't add the executable itself, only the path to it. So if the file golangci-lint is in $GOPATH/bin, your PATH should be PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin. When that is set up properly, you can invoke the command from any directory.

Thank you, kind person!
Wish you health, happiness, and all the best!

Set PATH permanently:
sudo nano ~/.bashrc
add and save in this file this string: export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin/

I think a better file for this is .profile
Go installation instructions for linux https://go.dev/doc/install recommend it as well.

So I recommend to do this:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin' >> ~/.profile
