ubuntu, 64 bit

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Can you please provide output? What is the build error?

[ridhishjain]

Both go build and go build rclone.go are giving this same output.
The problem's is in $GOPATH and $GOROOT.

rclone.go:7:2: cannot find package "github.com/rclone/rclone/backend/all" in any of:
	/usr/lib/go-1.10/src/github.com/rclone/rclone/backend/all (from $GOROOT)
	/home/ridhish/go/src/github.com/rclone/rclone/backend/all (from $GOPATH)
rclone.go:8:2: cannot find package "github.com/rclone/rclone/cmd" in any of:

rclone.go:10:2: cannot find package "github.com/rclone/rclone/lib/plugin" in any of:

	/home/ridhish/go/src/github.com/rclone/rclone/lib/plugin (from $GOPATH)

It's asking for a src folder in between path and there isn't any in rclone's directory.
It's also mentioned here https://github.com/go-lang-plugin-org/go-lang-idea-plugin/issues/215

Although the building didn't affect my gui-folder and the web-gui worked fine without building rclone.
Don't know if that was expected behavior or a bug

Have you set GOPATH?

Why are you building such an old rclone with such an old go version?

[ridhishjain]

Thank you, I got the problem, it was with versions. Script installation given at rclone.org/install worked for me.
