Can anyone help with the problem

You have an incorrect Go setup, installing custom packages into your Go root. By default the Go compiler lives in C:\Go on Windows. This is not where you put your packages.

I am following this video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34oOp1OLOUk&index=1&list=PLHoJlLKqR9v81o4eFbQKUScfW1akx22Eq] and try to compile the influx DB.

If you have any handy document on installation windows 7- then please share with me on the installation.
Thanks in advance.

Delete C:\Go, download installer from golang.org, follow steps, an DON’T set GOROOT. That’s all.

Now able to make the GO installation working.

But how can we make the database creation in INFLUXDB using the command:

curl -G http://localhost:8086/query --data-urlencode “q=CREATE DATABASE mydb”

Go compilation:

C:\Users\pranpal>cd …/…

C:>set GOPATH=C:\work

C:>cd …/…/…

C:>go install github.com/user/hello

C:>%GOPATH%\bin\hello
hello, world
