如何在golang中安装软件包

Question

I try to connect to SQL server in golang, I searched in internet and through this address: https://github.com/denisenkom/go-mssqldb I understood that first I need to install a package for the purpose, but when I want to install this package through git terminal by entering this command:

$ go get github.com/denisenkom/go-mssqldb

I receive this error :

can't load package: package github.com/denisenkom/go-mssqldb: no buildable go source files in C:\Go\src\github.com\dnisenkom\go-mssqldb

my $GOPATH is already set.I don't know how to fix this problem ...

Answer 1

According to the golang website:

Get downloads and installs the packages named by the import paths, along with their dependencies.

It sounds like the download isn't working, which is causing the folder to be empty. One alternative is to download the driver as a zip file and run go install on the folder.
