Can only use path@version syntax with 'go get'?

[seriiserii825]

I tried to install them for vim syntax from documentation.

go install github.com/mattn/efm-langserver@latest

In terminal i got this error

can't load package: package github.com/mattn/efm-langserver@latest: can only use path@version syntax with 'go get'

I can replace install with get

But what to do after that?

What version of Go are you on? I believe this error occurs for older installations. Try updating to 1.17 or later

Ubuntu's most recently packaged version is golang-1.13 so that may be the problem. Instead of sudo apt install golang-go use these instructions to unzip and add to path the prebuilt latest go (current 1.18). First do a sudo apt remove golang-go if you have already installed via apt.
