@SnowingFox firstly get your version go version command, after that if your go >= 1.17

go install github.com/gin-gonic/gin@latest

go < 1.17

go get github.com/gin-gonic/gin

Hey ,

Same issue here.

Have you find a way to make it work ?

/home/seb/sdk/go1.18.3/bin/go version
go version go1.18.3 linux/amd64

 /home/seb/sdk/go1.18.3/bin/go install github.com/gin-gonic/gin@latest
package github.com/gin-gonic/gin is not a main package

Thanks

Hey, it seems like your error is related to your Go modules setup. Did you set up a new Go project with modules, before running the install gin-gonic command (go install github.com/gin-gonic/gin@latest)?

Try this StackOverflow answer to see if that helps your issue. In particular, see step 4: In the newly created folder run go mod init projectPath where projectPath should be the URL of your future git repo (e.g. github.com/myname/myproject).. Let me know if that doesn't work?
