go protocol buffer set up wrong?

Question

I am trying to follow the instructions from https://github.com/golang/protobuf and https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases to install protocol buffer. After I added the bin path from the download folder to $PATH , I tried to run protoc-gen-go , but it shows -bash: protoc-gen-go: command not found

Is there a way to tell if I have install the protobuf correctly?

Thanks.

Please repeat all steps:

go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go
nano ~/.profile

check/add to the end (I don't use GOROOT)

export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOPATH/bin

reload profile (for sure)

sudo shutdown -r now

try now

protoc --go_out=. *.proto
