>> Also, pro-tip if you're on Ubuntu: the latest golang version in the default repos isn't compatible with this. You'll need to use golang 1.16 or later, which can be installed manually from the website, or installed via apt with a custom PPA (https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Ubuntu)

Thanks! I was about to give up

PD: Couldn't install it either with the new binaries: "package embed: unrecognized import path "embed" (import path does not begin with hostname)"

I think they should revisit this issues if really want widespread adoption.




Run `go version` to see if you're actually running the correct version of go. You need at least go 1.16.

If it's not correct, try `command -v go` to see which go binary your shell is using. If it's not "/usr/bin/go", then your PATH probably points to another one. In that case, try running `/usr/bin/go` directly instead of just `go` (assuming you installed the PPA linked above).

This isn't the project's fault. It requires a particular version of go, but you have the wrong version on your computer.
