Hi Pat, FWIW, I pulled together a TLDR on modules some time ago that I think hits upon each of the different issues you encountered in this thread. It also tries to summarize the core modules concepts, along with a bit of advice on how to stay on the "happy path" when starting out with Go modules. It is located here:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/57314494/11210494 That might be worth a quick read, especially if you found anything puzzling so far. It is likely also worthwhile to go through the official Go modules tutorial from the Go project: https://go.dev/doc/tutorial/create-module Finally, looking over the thread, it seems you started by chasing how to set GOROOT, which makes sense given the main error message you first saw mentions GOROOT. GOROOT was a bit of a red herring, and I opened an issue suggesting that error message be modified to something more helpful: #56965 -- cmd/go: consider reducing use of the word 'GOROOT' in error messages https://github.com/golang/go/issues/56965 Feel free to comment there or here if you have any additional thoughts on what would have made your journey simpler.
