Thanks again for following up on this Kurtis. The command is in the subject line: "go install google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go@v1.28 not working". Apologies if that wasn't clear.
I'm finding this confusing to say the least. Without any further changes to my system, and not heading the advice that trying the same thing and expecting a different result is a sign of madness, I've now run the command in the terminal without errors. Hmmm... Anyway, from my perspective I've got everything I needed to get working working now. Thanks for your input.
