I've seen this answer, but I'm not sure what action should I take
I'm really new to go in general, I could use some help
Thank you

Hi, have you ran go mod init [project-name] to initialize the module?

Hi, have you ran go mod init [project-name] to initialize the module?

This will create go.mod then you can ran go get -u github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2 that will create another file named go.sum if I am correct :)

[hi019]

Yes, you're correct

[kiyonlin]

You can try go get -u github.com/gofiber/fiber-cli/fiber and run fiber new project-name [mod name] 😃

fiber new creates some fiber boilerplate code and runs go mod init

@hi019 @alfuhigi
what is the correct location where to create go.mod?
GOPATH GOROOT or my app directory?

@kiyonlin

You can try go get -u gitHub.com/gofiber/fiber-cli/fiber and run fiber new project-name [mod name]

fiber new creates some fiber boilerplate code and runs go mod init

this doesn't work for me

go get -u gitHub.com/gofiber/fiber-cli/fiber
package gitHub.com/gofiber/fiber-cli/fiber: unrecognized import path "gitHub.com/gofiber/fiber-cli/fiber": reading https://gitHub.com/gofiber/fiber-cli/fiber?go-get=1: 404 Not Found

thanks for the help

can I suggest to update the installation in the readme.MD

[kiyonlin]

this doesn't work for me

@iapicca Oops, I make a typo (gitHub)

[kiyonlin]

can I suggest to update the installation in the readme.MD

Of course PRs are always welcome.

@kiyonlin now works thank you
I never heard about modules until now,
I'll go ahead and learn how to use it before bothering you any further
(google search pointed me here)

if fiber is as fast as your response time I feel that I've picked up the right framework to learn <3

I'm closing for now, I might submit the pr when I know what I'm doing
Thank you all
