Go Get no longer supported #1536

Closed TurtleSnail closed 1 year ago

TurtleSnail commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug Since version 1.17.1 of Go, it is no longer possible to use the go get command.

To Reproduce Make sure you have a Golang version above 1.71.1 installed:

go version

Run go get as specified in the README:

go get github.com/dusk-network/dusk-blockchain

The following output will appear:

dusk@m19221:~$ go version
go version go1.21.0 linux/amd64
dusk@m19221:~$ go get github.com/dusk-network/dusk-blockchain
go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory.
    'go get' is no longer supported outside a module.
    To build and install a command, use 'go install' with a version,
    like 'go install example.com/cmd@latest'
    For more information, see https://golang.org/doc/go-get-install-deprecation
    or run 'go help get' or 'go help install'.

Expected behaviour The codebase and its dependencies should be downloaded.

@TurtleSnail go get as written in our README no longer behaves as expected after Golang 1.17. This will be updated, thank you for your report.

Meanwhile, if you would like to play with our node software, I would strongly advise you to look at our Rusk repository instead. dusk-blockchain will be deprecated in favor of rusk in the future.

There are multiple ways to run and test our Rusk node. For more details see our setting up a node wiki page.
