package {name} is not in std

[flint idol]

Hi guys,

I am trying to run a golang API. When I "go run main.go", I get the output attached stating that package {name} is not in std as many third party packages are needed.

I have tried to look for answers in stackoverflow and even reddit or chatgpt but after hours trying to go build, go get and similar to get the missing third party packages but no matter what I do I get the same error that is attached.

Just in case you find it useful, the basic structure is the following:
/project-root
├── go.mod
├── cmd/
│ ├── main.go
│ └── other.go
└── other-package/
└── ...

I would really appreciate any help on this.

Thanks in advanced.

Also please find an example of what I get when I try go install to manually install each third party

This is what I get when I do go get

go run .

When I "go run main.go" I get the txt attached to the mirst message

This is what I get with go get -u (Just in case it is useful to anyone)

what is the output of go env

and how did you install go?

[flint idol]

Downloaded the compressed file from the website, uncompressed, moved it to /usr/local and then added the path to /etc/profile.d

what's the output of ls -l /usr/local/go

can you show what your go.mod has?

[scenic pendant]

okay, last thnig, what happens if you run ls -l /usrlocal/go/src ?

i think you might not have finished extracting everything

you might need to just reinstall go 😉

the test dir and VERSION is missing from your GOROOT at least

yea

you're missing like most of the stdlib

delete /usr/local/go and reinstall

Ok, let me try. Thank you very much for everything so far, this is driving me mad

It's working now. Thank you so much, you just saved my day!
