You should have a correctly installed Go compiler environment and your personal workspace ($GOPATH). If you have no idea what $GOPATH is, take a look here. Please make sure that your $GOPATH/bin is available in your $PATH. This is important, because most editors assume that gocode binary is available in one of the directories, specified by your $PATH environment variable. Otherwise manually copy the gocode binary from $GOPATH/bin to a location which is part of your $PATH after getting it in step 2.

Do these steps only if you understand why you need to do them: export GOPATH=$HOME/goprojects export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
Then you need to get the appropriate version of the gocode, for 6g/8g/5g compiler you can do this: go get -u github.com/nsf/gocode (-u flag for "update") Windows users should consider doing this instead: go get -u -ldflags -H=windowsgui github.com/nsf/gocode That way on the Windows OS gocode will be built as a GUI application and doing so solves hanging window issues with some of the editors.
Next steps are editor specific. See below.
Note: As of go 1.5 there is no $GOROOT/misc/vim script. Suggested installation is via vim-go plugin.
Install official Go vim scripts from $GOROOT/misc/vim. If you did that already, proceed to the step 2.
Install gocode vim scripts. Usually it's enough to do the following: 2.1. vim/update.sh update.sh script does the following: #!/bin/sh mkdir -p "$HOME/.vim/autoload" mkdir -p "$HOME/.vim/ftplugin/go" cp "${0%/*}/autoload/gocomplete.vim" "$HOME/.vim/autoload" cp "${0%/*}/ftplugin/go/gocomplete.vim" "$HOME/.vim/ftplugin/go" 2.2. Alternatively, you can create symlinks using symlink.sh script in order to avoid running update.sh after every gocode update. symlink.sh script does the following: #!/bin/sh cd "${0%/*}" ROOTDIR=`pwd` mkdir -p "$HOME/.vim/autoload" mkdir -p "$HOME/.vim/ftplugin/go" ln -s "$ROOTDIR/autoload/gocomplete.vim" "$HOME/.vim/autoload/" ln -s "$ROOTDIR/ftplugin/go/gocomplete.vim" "$HOME/.vim/ftplugin/go/"
Make sure vim has filetype plugin enabled. Simply add that to your .vimrc: filetype plugin on
Autocompletion should work now. Use <C-x><C-o> for autocompletion (omnifunc autocompletion).
Neovim users should also follow Vim manual installation, except that you should goto gocode/nvim in step 2, and remember that, the Neovim configuration file is ~/.config/nvim/init.vim.
In order to install emacs script, you need to fulfill the following steps:. Also, there is an alternative plugin for emacs using company-mode. See emacs-company/README for installation instructions.
Install auto-complete-mode
Copy emacs/go-autocomplete.el file from the gocode source distribution to a directory which is in your 'load-path' in emacs.
Add these lines to your .emacs: (require 'go-autocomplete) (require 'auto-complete-config) (ac-config-default)
