```

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

```

(make sure to run `source ~/.bashrc` / `source ~/.bash_profile` or open a new terminal to apply changes)

2. Install gocode: `go get -u github.com/stamblerre/gocode`

3. Install python support for neovim: `pip3 install pynvim`

4. Install neovim: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Installing-Neovim
