“cannot find package” during make install using Go?

Question

I am getting this error while running a GitHub hyperledger blockchain project

go build -o sample/build/keytool ./sample/authentication/keytool
sample/authentication/keytool/main.go:19:8: cannot find package "github.com/hyperledger-labs/minbft/sample/authentication/keytool/cmd" in any of:
    /usr/lib/go-1.10/src/github.com/hyperledger-labs/minbft/sample/authentication/keytool/cmd (from $GOROOT)
    /home/shalikram/go/src/github.com/hyperledger-labs/minbft/sample/authentication/keytool/cmd (from $GOPATH)
Makefile:55: recipe for target 'build' failed
make: *** [build] Error 1

Answer 1

the simplest way to solve this issue would be to simply install the package via go get since you are running go 1.10; in your case it looks like it would be

$> go get github.com/hyperledger-labs/minbft
