Make error when installing ethereum

System information

OS & Version: OSX
go version: go1.8.1 darwin/amd64

Behaviour

In my terminal, I'm trying to use homebrew to install ethereum, so I used these two commands:

brew tap ethereum/ethereum
brew install ethereum/ethereum

The first line executes with no problem, but when executing the second line, I get:

==> Installing ethereum from ethereum/ethereum
==> Installing dependencies for ethereum/ethereum/ethereum: go
==> Installing ethereum/ethereum/ethereum dependency: go
==> Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/go-1.8.1.sierra.bottle.tar.gz
Already downloaded: /Users/iwei/Library/Caches/Homebrew/go-1.8.1.sierra.bottle.tar.gz
==> Pouring go-1.8.1.sierra.bottle.tar.gz
==> Caveats
A valid GOPATH is required to use the `go get` command.
If $GOPATH is not specified, $HOME/go will be used by default:
  https://golang.org/doc/code.html#GOPATH

You may wish to add the GOROOT-based install location to your PATH:
  export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/opt/go/libexec/bin

Googling this error message every instance was reporting that an anti-virus software was as fault, preventing Go from running some of its functionality (golang/go#8801 golang/go#18171).

@karalabe that was indeed the issue, thank you so much!
