   export GOPATH=$PROJECT/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
   then refresh your bash profile with source ~/.bash_profile
4. Then use cd $GOPATH and mkdir -p src/github.com/mattermost then cd into this directory and run git clone github.com/mattermost/platform.git
5. If you do not have Mercurial, download it with: brew install mercurial
