go install not working

[Raidus]

Hi,

package installation works but executing go install gopkg.in/ahmdrz/goinsta.v2/goinsta gives me following error:

src/gopkg.in/ahmdrz/goinsta.v2/goinsta/main.go:23:8: cannot find package "github.com/ahmdrz/goinsta/goinsta/cmd" in any of:
	/usr/local/go/src/github.com/ahmdrz/goinsta/goinsta/cmd (from $GOROOT)
	/Users/willy/repos/go/src/github.com/ahmdrz/goinsta/goinsta/cmd (from $GOPATH)

My bash_profile

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
export GOPATH=$HOME/repos/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

Any ideas?

go get -u -v github.com/ahmdrz/goinsta
go install github.com/ahmdrz/goinsta/cmd/goinsta

thanks @dgrr for the hint. the cmd you've provided didn't work but this cmd installed the module:

go install github.com/ahmdrz/goinsta/

I had to install another library, too:

go get -u -v github.com/howeyc/gopass
go install github.com/howeyc/gopass

ya, I have the same issue.

I think the problem is in /goinsta/go.mod (v2.3 tag) to which gopkg.in/ahmdrz/goinsta.v2 is referencing. The name of the module to be installed is not correct.
also, github can't handle links with those suffixes (.v2 etc), so I don't think 8773afd will fix it.
But I'm really new to go, so don't count on what I'm saying.

Until this is fixed, you can use: $ go install github.com/f4bio/goinsta as a workaround (worked for me)

@ahmdrz any chance to solve this?

I am also affected. +1 please fix this

As I removed cmd package, you cannot install it.
ASAP We will make another repo just for cmd package.
