cannot install on linux: "cannot use path@version syntax in GOPATH mode" #35

Closed abadstart closed 1 year ago

abadstart commented 1 year ago

On Linux Mint 20.2

Both go install github.com/tbvdm/sigtop@master and GOBIN=~/bin go install github.com/tbvdm/sigtop@master

give the error: can't load package: package github.com/tbvdm/sigtop@master: cannot use path@version syntax in GOPATH mode

How to proceed?

Your Go version is too old. It looks like you have the following options:

  1. Upgrade your Linux distro.
  2. Install Go from a PPA repository. See https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Ubuntu#using-ppa.
  3. Install a Go binary release directly from the Go project. See https://go.dev/doc/install.

Installing Go from the PPA repo worked, thanks!
