Hi, you were very close, instead of
go install github.com/mortalcatalyst/xml/xml.go do go install github.com/mortalcatalyst/xml In go, you don't install the particular file, you install the program as a whole (which in many cases, it involves more than one file) And as a side note, normally you would $ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/mortalcatalyst/xml $ go install so you don't have to specify the whole path to the project every time. Hope that helps P.S. as you work with Go more and more, you'll want to add these lines to ~/.bash_profile: CDPATH=.:$GOPATH/src/github.com:$GOPATH/src/bitbucket.org #you may add more domains here if you host your proejct(s) somewhere else export CDPATH that let's you, form anywhere in your terminal, to type: $ cd mor Then press tab and the terminal will autocomplete mortalcatalyst P.S. source of the tip https://twitter.com/rob_pike/status/467367507305574400 Diego On Saturday, February 11, 2017 at 7:12:38 AM UTC-5, Sayth Renshaw wrote: > > Hi All > > I installed go on a new linux mint laptop and followed the standard go > guide and it works fine with the hello world example. > > Today i came back to work on go and cannot seem to do the install step to > run my script. > > sayth@sayth-E6410 ~ $ mkdir -p work/src/github.com/mortalcatalyst/xml > sayth@sayth-E6410 ~ $ code ~/work/src/github.com/mortalcatalyst/xml/xml.go > sayth@sayth-E6410 ~ $ go install github.com/mortalcatalyst/xml/xml.go > stat github.com/mortalcatalyst/xml/xml.go: no such file or directory > > sayth@sayth-E6410 ~ $ cd $GOPATH > sayth@sayth-E6410 ~/work $ go install github.com/mortalcatalyst/xml/xml.go > stat github.com/mortalcatalyst/xml/xml.go: no such file or directory > > Now I am a little confused, how should I easily come in every day fire up > a project and get it to work and get the file to run and install? > > Cheers > > Sayth > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
