go: module found but does not contain package-CodePudding

I am trying to install the net package for go but get "does not contain package error".

Terminal screenshot:

I have consulted: go module @latest found but does not contain package but none of the solutions seem to work for me.

I am using go version go1.18.5 linux/amd64

CodePudding user response：

go get -u golang.org/x/net

go install used for executable packages

CodePudding user response：

You have to initialize your module with go mod init in the project root directory

For local codebase

go mod init test

OR for hosted codebase e.g. github repo: test, github user: radiant

go mod init github.com/radiant/test

It will produce a go.mod file.

Then you can get the required package as:

go get golang.org/x/net
go mod tidy

Then import and use the net packages.

Hope this helps.
