First make sure that you have a go.mod file, typically by running "go mod init my-package-path". Then run "go get github.com/dustinxie/lockfree". The "go get" command will add the package to your go.mod file, and you will be able to import it in your Go files. A reasonable starting point is https://go.dev/blog/using-go-modules . If you want to do something else, please explain further what you are looking for. Thanks. Ian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
