net: Dial("ip4:icmp", ...) returns operation not permitted error because it uses a raw socket

[AlpherJang]

Hey, I almost started learning Golang, and then follow the book to try using socket programming. But when I use it
Ip4: icmp request remote host, the system returns to me such an error:
Fatal error: dial ip4: icmp 78.216.200.70: socket: operation not permitted
My system is os sierra

package main

import (
	"os"
	"fmt"
	"net"
	"bytes"
	"io"
)

func main() {
	if len(os.Args) != 2 {
		fmt.Println("Usage: ", os.Args[0], "host")
		os.Exit(1)
	}
	service := os.Args[1]

	conn, err := net.Dial("ip4:icmp", service)
	checkError(err)

	var msg [512]byte
	msg[0] = 8  // echo
	msg[1] = 0  // code 0
	msg[2] = 0  // checksum
	msg[3] = 0  // checksum
	msg[4] = 0  // identifier[0]
	msg[5] = 13 //identifier[1]
	msg[6] = 0  // sequence[0]
	msg[7] = 37 // sequence[1]

	len := 8

	check := checkSum(msg[0:len])

	msg[2] = byte(check >> 8)
	msg[3] = byte(check & 255)

	_, err = conn.Write(msg[0:len])
	checkError(err)

	_, err = conn.Read(msg[0:])

	fmt.Println("Got response")

	if msg[5] == 13 {
		fmt.Println("Identifier matches")
	}
	if msg[7] == 37 {
		fmt.Println("Sequence matches")
	}
	os.Exit(0)
}

func checkSum(msg []byte) uint16 {
	sum := 0

	for n := 1; n < len(msg)-1; n += 2 {
		sum += int(msg[n])*256 + int(msg[n+1])
	}
	sum = (sum >> 16) + (sum & 0xffff)
	sum += (sum >> 16)
	var answer uint16 = uint16(^sum)
	return answer
}

func readFully(conn net.Conn) ([]byte, error) {
	defer conn.Close()
	result := bytes.NewBuffer(nil)

	var buf [512]byte

	for {
		n, err := conn.Read(buf[0:])
		result.Write(buf[0:n])
		if err != nil {
			if err == io.EOF {
				break
			}
			return nil, err
		}
	}
	return result.Bytes(), nil
}

func checkError(err error) {
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Fatal error: %s", err.Error())
	}
	os.Exit(1)
}

I hope that someone can why this situation is how to solve
