Help installing this on ubuntu 22.04

[eliander30]

Hi I'm trying install it on ubuntu 22.04 but when i execute the command to install it i see the following error

go get -u github.com/AfterShip/email-verifier

go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory.
	'go get' is no longer supported outside a module.
	To build and install a command, use 'go install' with a version,
	like 'go install example.com/cmd@latest'
	For more information, see https://golang.org/doc/go-get-install-deprecation
	or run 'go help get' or 'go help install'.

NOTE: i also used the gollowing command but is not working neither

go install github.com/AfterShip/email-verifier@latest
package github.com/AfterShip/email-verifier is not a main package

can you provide go version on your device?

Same issue on macOS - go 1.22.6.

I understand that go get has been deprecated in favour of go install but it still doesn't work.

go install github.com/AfterShip/email-verifier@latest

package github.com/AfterShip/email-verifier is not a main package

Hi @tunecrew @eliander30 .
After the go version is upgraded, it no longer supports the go get installation, but the email-verifier is only a library, so it does not support the go install.

For a library package in Go, you can install it and manage dependencies using Go Modules. Here are the steps:

1. Initialize Go Modules:
   Open your terminal in the project directory and run the following command to initialize Go Modules:
   go mod init example.com/myproject

2. Install the email-verifier Package:
   Use the following command to download and install email-verifier package along with its dependencies:
   import "github.com/AfterShip/email-verifier"

3. Install the Package:
   Use the following command to download and install the email-verifier package along with its dependencies:
   go get github.com/AfterShip/email-verifier@latest

4. Write Your Code:
   Utilize the library in your code as needed, referring to the library's documentation for proper usage instructions.

5. Build and Run:
   Finally, build or run your program using go build or go run.
