Missing step from Go documentation should be repeated here for clarity. The 'goexec' command will not work unless this step has been completed.

+Note: for the `goexec` command to work on Unix-like systems, you must [add the PATH environment variable](https://golang.org/doc/install#tarball) for Go to your shell's `profile`. Go's getting started guide explains this:
+> Add /usr/local/go/bin to the PATH environment variable. You can do this by adding this line to your /etc/profile (for a system-wide installation) or $HOME/.profile:
+
+> `export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin`
+
+> Note: changes made to a profile file may not apply until the next time you log into your computer
Finally, navigate to http://localhost:8080/index.html, open the
JavaScript debug console, and you should see the output. You can
modify the program, rebuild `main.wasm`, and refresh to see new
output.
