I'm trying to install my package using go install but I get this error message when running the command go install github.com/JoaoDanielRufino/gcloc/cmd/gcloc#latest:
go install: github.com/JoaoDanielRufino/gcloc/cmd/gcloc#latest: module github.com/JoaoDanielRufino/gcloc#latest found (v1.0.0), but does not contain package github.com/JoaoDanielRufino/gcloc/cmd/gcloc
I want the executable name to be gcloc.
Here is the current source code: https://github.com/JoaoDanielRufino/gcloc
Note: I've already tried go clean -modcache but it didn't work
As the main function of this package isn't on its root, you should pass the directory of the main package on your command.
So, your command will be:
go install -v github.com/JoaoDanielRufino/gcloc/cmd#latest
I came across a similar issue when I was trying to use go install to install the cloudflare/cf-terraforming tool on my machine. The documentation for this tool is not clear on the installation and I had to dig around to get this to work
Basically #Jictyvoo answer above sums it up, if the path is pointing to anything other than directory where the main.go file is sitting I got the error
Command: go install github.com/cloudflare/cf-terraforming#latest v0.8.0#latest
go: github.com/cloudflare/cf-terraforming#latest: module
github.com/cloudflare/cf-terraforming#latest found (v0.8.0), but does not
contain package github.com/cloudflare/cf-terraforming
when I switched to the below it worked fine for me:
Command: go install -v github.com/cloudflare/cf-terraforming/cmd/cf-terraforming#latest
This worked for me after checking the repo and realising that the main.go file was sitting in the cmd/cf-terraforming subdirectory

Go has a nice feature where you can go install <x> and it will download, build and install a binary.
For example, on my local windows PC, go install github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser will find the latest release for goreleaser, download, build and install it to my local binaries path.
I am working on a project where we would like to enable go install, but encounter a problem if the github repo name does not match the executable name. The GitHub CLI itself runs into the exact same problem:
Example:
go install github.com/cli/cli#latest
go: downloading github.com/cli/cli v1.14.0
go: github.com/cli/cli#latest: module github.com/cli/cli#latest found (v1.14.0), but does not contain package github.com/cli/cli
Is there a way to resolve this?
Update: I worked out that I could directly reference the package via it's sub directory. In my particular instance this works: go install github.com/OctopusDeploy/cli/cmd/octopus#latest
This is a bit unpleasant, but works correctly. It doesn't work for the github CLI because their go.mod has a replace directive in it :-(
Question: Can this be made nicer? Is there a way to put some sort of alias or configuration file so that go install github.com/OctopusDeploy/cli#latest can be used instead of go install github.com/OctopusDeploy/cli/cmd/octopus#latest ?

No. Dead simple.
I'm a beginning go user trying to install the go apache arrow module, so I can run the introductory examples in the user guide. When I try to install the library, I receive the following errors:
$ go install github.com/apache/arrow/go#latest
go: github.com/apache/arrow/go#latest:
module github.com/apache/arrow#latest found (v0.0.0-20220326002331-5bd4d8ec279d),
but does not contain package github.com/apache/arrow/go
$ go install github.com/apache/arrow/go#v7.0.0
go: github.com/apache/arrow/go#v7.0.0: github.com/apache/arrow/go#v7.0.0:
invalid version: go/go.mod has post-v7 module path
"github.com/apache/arrow/go/v7" at revision go/v7.0.0
I've been able to install other go packages successfully, so I don't understand why this install is erroring out.
What is the correct invocation of "go install" to install apache arrow?
There is an easy way: assume you have done go mod init in your local project, you can start to write a file and import github.com/apache/arrow/go/v8 Like this example:
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/go/arrow/_examples/helloworld/main.go
Now you can easily do
go mod tidy && go mod vendor
And the tool should recognize the imports to download and vendorize.
Or you can do explicitly in your project dir,
go get -u github.com/apache/arrow/go/v8
then run the mod tidy and mod vendor
I am very new to golang. I am trying to work with the gomod. Trying to explore the go buffalo framework. But finding a bit of difficulty in installing that.
What I have done:
I saw that go get is nomore supported for buffalo and so switched to go modules.
Created a module by go mod init github.com/webbuffalotest
Fetched go get -v github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo (on the same directory where I have go.mod file)
Fetched go get -v github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 (on the same directory where I have go.mod file)
go install github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo
I was expecting a buffalo.exe inside %GOPATH%/bin so that I can add it to my path but didn't find one.
My question is what's wrong? Is the exe not installed or it's somewhere else because of go mod. Any help will be highly appreciated.
I am using windows 10. I am not willing to install package managers as scoop or choco to install buffalo. Thanks for your patience :)
Edited:
Also tried setting set GO111MODULE=on but of no use.
Solved:
My bad, I should have used go install github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/buffalo instead of go install github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo
github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo is a library; the corresponding binary is (aptly-named) github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/buffalo.
The go install command you ran should have warned you about that, but didn't because go install used to also be used to cache compiled libraries (it no longer does that in module mode).
I've filed https://golang.org/issue/46912 to add a diagnostic.
Im new to go and I have been unable to find any thing online for my issue.
I have downloaded this code https://github.com/hashicorp/http-echo and I would like to set it up so I can run this command.
$ http-echo -listen=:8080 -text="hello world"
I have been getting quite a few different path issues.
Currently I have the code sitting in this directory.
/Users/jon/go/src/github.com/hashicorp
When I try and install it I get this error
$ go install http-echo
can't load package: /usr/local/go/src/http-echo/handlers.go:9:2: non-standard import "github.com/hashicorp/http-echo/version" in standard package "http-echo"
Where should I keep go projects on an OSX computer, and how do I get this to install or compile?
The code currently seems to be in /usr/local/go/src/http-echo. Packages should always reside in the directory $GOPATH/src/package-name, e.g.: $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp/http-echo. (unless you're using go modules).
It should work if you move the source to the correct path (/Users/jon/go/src/github.com/hashicorp/http-echo). Then execute:
go install github.com/hashicorp/http-echo
Even easier would be to use go get to download the package in the first place. Simply run the following command from any directory:
go get github.com/hashicorp/http-echo
And http-echo is automagically installed.
If you still get an error after this, make sure $GOPATH/bin is in your $PATH.
I need to use the test driven development in Go using "gotests" command.
gotests -all *
This is not working. I did go get -u /github.com/cweill/gotests
and go install. But there is no binary created in $GOPATH/bin.
since there is NO main package, Use this command
$ go get github.com/cweill/gotests/...
this itself download all dependencies for the current package, and creates bin file, after downloading this package. see in $GOPATH/bin there will be a bin file named gotests
for more see HERE
The following worked for me with go v1.19.1
go install github.com/cweill/gotests/gotests#latest
Using go get to install things has been disabled since 1.18. See Deprecation of 'go get' for installing executables
go install github.com/rakyll/gotest
