Error When Issuing `go install` - go

I'm in my go root path and I get error the following errors when I perform the go install command...
main.go:4:2: cannot find package "fmt" in any of:
/usr/lib/go-1.6/bin/src/fmt (from $GOROOT)
/home/rbtlong/go/src/fmt (from $GOPATH)
main.go:6:2: cannot find package "io/ioutil" in any of:
/usr/lib/go-1.6/bin/src/io/ioutil (from $GOROOT)
/home/rbtlong/go/src/io/ioutil (from $GOPATH)
main.go:5:2: cannot find package "net/http" in any of:
/usr/lib/go-1.6/bin/src/net/http (from $GOROOT)
/home/rbtlong/go/src/net/http (from $GOPATH)
package rbtlong.com
imports runtime: cannot find package "runtime" in any of:
/usr/lib/go-1.6/bin/src/runtime (from $GOROOT)
/home/rbtlong/go/src/runtime (from $GOPATH)
I have tried unsetting the GOROOT, but it doesn't seem to work.

Per discussion, it sounds like your install is a bit mucked up. Reinstalling Go seems to be the best option.
For others investigating GOROOT issues, the first step is almost always going to be to unset GOROOT. In most cases, GOROOT is not needed, and tends to muck up the works.
Another option for managing your Go installs more easily (and largely automagically), which also gives a homebrew-like version swapping capability and a containerization similar to virtualenv for Python or rvm for Ruby, is to use GVM.

apparently, the definition was defined in $HOME/.bashrc after removing the definition for GOPATH and GOROOT, then manually removing the folder at /usr/lib/go-1.6 then reinstalling it using the instructions here https://golang.org/doc/install#install then setting the PATH and GOPATH by editing $HOME/.profile:
PATH="[...]:/usr/local/go/bin[...]"
export GOPATH="$HOME/go"
it appears to be working now...

Before doing go install check for the Go version and Go path, if these are correct you won't get any error.
Please, install Go latest version from the official website and re-try once.

Error in compiling golang after migrating to centos

I was migrating my Golang programs from windows to Centos 7
It worked perfectly in Windows
but when I tried to compile on centos I get errors like
main.go:20:3: cannot find package "github.com/BurntSushi/toml" in any of:
/usr/local/go/src/github.com/BurntSushi/toml (from $GOROOT)
/root/work/src/github.com/BurntSushi/toml (from $GOPATH)
main.go:15:3: cannot find package "github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go" in any of:
/usr/local/go/src/github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go (from $GOROOT)
/root/work/src/github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go (from $GOPATH)
main.go:16:3: cannot find package "github.com/gwlkm_service/config" in any of:
/usr/local/go/src/github.com/gwlkm_service/config (from $GOROOT)
/root/work/src/github.com/gwlkm_service/config (from $GOPATH)
kinda new to centos so idk what to do
looks like you have configured your GOPATH, without Go Module, you can use go get [package path] to download imported packages.
go get github.com/BurntSushi/toml
go get github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go
go get github.com/gwlkm_service/config
Precisely
your go installation on server seems in /usr/local/go and
your project is in /root/work
so all your dependencies should be either in /root/work/src or /usr/local/go/src
now coming to action check your GOPATH with running echo $GOPATH
assuming it is automatically set to /usr/local/go/src
If not then follow - How do I SET the GOPATH environment variable on Ubuntu? What file must I edit?
If everything is ok then in your folder run go mod init
this will create mod file which will help you in further installations
look into - https://blog.golang.org/using-go-modules
then run go get commands as above #beiping96 said
go get github.com/BurntSushi/toml
go get github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go
go get github.com/gwlkm_service/config
NOTE - after completing above process you will generate go modules file(same as package.json) and in future you won't need to care about dependencies

how to import package from github

I'm trying to build a api using Go and I tried running a existing file from GitHub that I got from udemy course. I'm getting this kind of output:
C:\goworkspace\src\grpc-go-course-master\blog\blog_client>go run client.go
client.go:4:2: cannot find package "context" in any of:
C:\go\src\context (from $GOROOT)
C:\goworkspace\src\context (from $GOPATH)
..\..\..\golang.org\x\net\http2\not_go111.go:10:2: cannot find package "net/http/httptrace" in any of:
C:\go\src\net\http\httptrace (from $GOROOT)
C:\goworkspace\src\net\http\httptrace (from $GOPATH)
Could you suggest me what can cause this error?
In order to download the dependencies, you have to use the go get command:
go get -v -u github.com/alessiosavi/GoUtils
Change with the package that you need (in that repo you can find a bunch of 'utils' method).
If the project, instead, have the go.mod file, you have to type:
go clean
go build
By this way you are going to install the dependencies listed in the go.mod file.
For update the dependencies to the latest version:
go get -v -u all
go mod tidy
The above command looks for missing dependencies, adds them to go.mod, and installs them.

Installing external packages in golang

I am trying to import a package in my golang code. But it is showing me this error:
cannot find package "github.com/mattbaird/jsonpatch" in any of:
/opt/go/src/github.com/mattbaird/jsonpatch (from $GOROOT)
/chaincode/input/src/github.com/mattbaird/jsonpatch (from $GOPATH)
/opt/gopath/src/github.com/mattbaird/jsonpatch "
Can somebody help me fix this?
Thanks.
Recheck your environment variables($GOPATH, $GOROOT).
The problem you are facing is that, your code is searching for the package github.com/mattbaird/jsonpatch in /opt/go/src/github.com/, /chaincode/input/src/github.com/ and /opt/gopath/src/github.com/ directories. But you have installed the package in C:\Users\xyz\go\src\github.com directory.
Ensure your $GOPATH environment variable is set up correctly.
Then double check the packages are installed, if not you need to install the package which you can do with.
go get github.com/mattbaird/jsonpatch

Golang package imports - cannot find package

This is my first time asking a question here, anyway, I am wondering why it says it can't find the package, even though github.com/JohnDoe/temperature/conversion/conv is inside the $GOPATH
[johndoe#johndoe temperature]$ go run main.go
main.go:5:2: cannot find package "github.com/JohnDoe/temperature/conversion/conv" in any of:
/usr/local/go/src/github.com/JohnDoe/temperature/conversion/conv (from $GOROOT)
/home/johndoe/Workspace/Go/src/github.com/JohnDoe/temperature/conversion/conv (from $GOPATH)
more details:
[johndoe#johndoe conversion]$ pwd
/home/johndoe/Workspace/Go/src/github.com/JohnDoe/temperature/conversion
[johndoe#johndoe conversion]$ ls
conv.go
Thoughts?
You're mistaking packages and file. In go (contrary to say… python), a package is represented by a directory, and files in this directory are nothing more than code. So you should import the github.com/JohnDoe/temperature/conversion package.

Go get not fetching all dependencies

I am using go 1.5.1 on Windows 8.1 64-bit. I do not have GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT set in my environment. I have the latest version of git and bazaar installed.
I am trying to get the gomniauth package:
go get github.com/stretchr/gomniauth
Even though the process completes without any error, a lot of dependencies aren't pulled in.
For example, when compiling my app (which depends on gomniauth), I get these errors:
..\github.com\stretchr\codecs\xml\simple_xml_codec.go:5:2: cannot find package "github.com/clbanning/x2j" in any of:
C:\Go\src\github.com\clbanning\x2j (from $GOROOT)
C:\work\src\github.com\clbanning\x2j (from $GOPATH)
..\github.com\stretchr\codecs\msgpack\msgpack_codec.go:6:2: cannot find package "github.com/ugorji/go/codec" in any of:
C:\Go\src\github.com\ugorji\go\codec (from $GOROOT)
C:\work\src\github.com\ugorji\go\codec (from $GOPATH)
..\github.com\stretchr\codecs\bson\bson_codec.go:5:2: cannot find package "labix.org/v2/mgo/bson" in any of:
C:\Go\src\labix.org\v2\mgo\bson (from $GOROOT)
C:\work\src\labix.org\v2\mgo\bson (from $GOPATH)
It seems to pull in the direct dependencies for gomniauth, but doesn't pull in the dependencies of the dependencies. I have gone and deleted the stretchr folder from my GOPATH/src as well as GOPATH/pkg, but after running go get many times, it is still not pulling in the any dependencies beyond the second level.
I am 100% confident there are no network issues on my end. I can access those github repos using my browser or curl.
Change directory to your project and then try go get ./...
E.g.:
cd C:\work\src\github.com\stretchr\gomniauth
go get ./...
Or just go get github.com/stretchr/gomniauth/... as Amit Kumar Gupta suggested
In my case I was missing the bzr package.
After adding it using dnf install bzr and running #RoninDev suggestion it worked as expected:
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/stretchr/gomniauth
go get ./...
