Golang get command failed

Question

I use this command to download a package from GitHub; but the output surprising me, I want to install the package not to find the package under the GOPATH or GOROOT!

$ go get  github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep

package github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep: cannot find package "github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep" in any of:
    /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.13/libexec/src/github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep (from $GOROOT)
    /Users/mateuszhang/go/src/github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep (from $GOPATH)

$ go get -u github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep
package github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep: cannot find package "github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep" in any of:
    /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.13/libexec/src/github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep (from $GOROOT)
    /Users/mateuszhang/go/src/github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep (from $GOPATH)

Start by deleting you Go installation and install the official version from the official website according to the official installation instructions. Second: You seem to operate in modules modes: Turn it off with GO111MODULE=off. — Volker

You may need to set env var $GO111MODULE to on. You can do it by adding export GO111MODULE=on at the end of your bash profile file (i.e, ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile).

Want to install dep? Run:

go get -u github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep

Want to install from source? Run:

go get -d -u github.com/golang/dep
cd $(go env GOPATH)/src/github.com/golang/dep
DEP_LATEST=$(git describe --abbrev=0 --tags)
git checkout $DEP_LATEST
go install -ldflags="-X main.version=$DEP_LATEST" ./cmd/dep
git checkout master
