running "genny": exec: "genny": executable file not found in $PATH

//go:generate genny -in=$GOFILE -out=gen-$GOFILE gen "KeyType=string,int ValueType=string,int"

go generate ./... command with above comment reproduce
running "genny": exec: "genny": executable file not found in $PATH messege for me.

However, if I do that command with
//go:generate $GOPATH/bin/genny -in=$GOFILE -out=gen-$GOFILE gen "KeyType=string,int ValueType=string,int"
this comment, genny generation works for me well.

I want to use //go:generate genny -in=$GOFILE -out=gen-$GOFILE gen "KeyType=string,int ValueType=string,int" this comment which is document's recommended comment.

How can I use this one with the best?

below is my go env

You probably need to write export PATH="$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin" in a shell script that is always executed. Traditionally ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc (or ~/.zprofile, ~/.zshrc if you use zsh).

If you've added github.com/cheekybits/genny to your go.mod file, you can also try using something like:

//go:generate go run github.com/cheekybits/genny -in=$GOFILE -out=gen-$GOFILE gen "KeyType=string,int ValueType=string,int"

try this one:
go install github.com/cheekybits/genny
