使用Go GitHub存储库

Question

I have Go installed, setup, and running hello world; I followed these directions. My workspace is organized as follows:

gocode/
    bin/
    pkg/
    src/
        github.com/
            my_username/
                hello/
                    hello.go
            anomalyzer/
                algorithms.go
                ...
                README.md

I would like to start using Go code from a forked GitHub repo, lytics/anomalyzer. How can I do this? I forked the repo and setup a local clone in github.com/anomalyzer/ as shown above. But from the github.com/anomalyzer/ dir I try go install and get the error message algorithms.go:5:2: cannot find package "github.com/drewlanenga/govector" in any of: ...(lists my GOPATH). It looks like I need to also clone the github.com/drewlanenga/govector, do I? Is there an automated way to get all the package dependencies?

Answer 1

To fetch remote packages, run the go get command. Because the go get command automatically fetches dependencies and does not fetch a package that already have have, you can run

go get github.com/lytics/anomalyzer 

to get everything setup including the github.com/drewlanenga/govector package.
