go 不需要模块提供 package 多路复用器错误

Question

so I have the following code,

package main
import (
    "github.com/gorilla/mux"
)
func main() {
    router := mux.NewRouter()
}

when I do go run., it gives the following error binapi.go:4:2: no required module provides package github.com/gorilla/mux; to add it: go get github.com/gorilla/mux binapi.go:4:2: no required module provides package github.com/gorilla/mux; to add it: go get github.com/gorilla/mux , how do I fix this error? I have run the go get github.com/gorilla/mux command in every way possible and im sure it is installed. I found a post a while back but the command it gave didn't work. The command was go env -w GO111MODULE=auto but it didnt solve the issue.

here is the go env

Sounds like you do not have a go.mod file in the root of your project. Run go mod init <name> first.

Then when you run a go mod tidy it will add the "github.com/gorilla/mux"-dependency into the list of required modules, or manually add it with the stated go get github.com/gorilla/mux .
This behavior has changed in go1.16 . Before it would automatically add the dependencies for you.

Make sure to commit both the go.mod and go.sum files should you use a VCS.
