Platform is x86_64 kernel 4.4.0 Ubuntu flavored Linux Mint. I had the golang package installed but it was too old to run newer code. Removed package and proceeded with install. Downloaded static version of go 1.9.2 (104247844 bytes) from website, moved folder into /usr/local/go. gopath is set. and I followed the hello world example in the docs/install.html.
