go: could not create module cache: stat /root/go-workspace/pkg/mod: permission denied

[hoainam125]

I Have got this issue when running
go install -v github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei/v2/cmd/nuclei@latest command
I have downloaded latest Go version for Linux
"┌──(kali㉿kali)-[~] └─$ go version go version go1.20.5 linux/amd64
Please help

That error, go: could not create module cache: stat /root/go-workspace/pkg/mod: permission denied is a system error, not a subfinder error. You don't seem to have the right permissions for your user.

Just in case, make sure your GOPATH is in your $PATH. That might help, too.

@hoainam125 I've just tried with kali both in the docker and virtual box, and the default permissions for kali seems to be set correctly. I guess that you probably installed go as root (as you have the workspace in the /root folder) and are trying to run it as kali, which doesn't have enough permissions to write to /root/go-workspace

You can use this:

go env -w GOMODCACHE=${PWD}/CACHE_EXAMPLE/modcache GOCACHE=${PWD)/CACHE_EXAMPLE/buildcache

You can change the folder "CACHE_EXAMPLE" for other folder.
