package io/fs is not in GOROOT

As I've tried to install this wonderful tool in Debian, I got the following issues.

First, after make install I saw:

$ make install
go install
make: go: No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:15: install] Error 127

Okay, I did apt install golang then ran make install again. So what I'd see:

$ make install
go install

Stackoverflow didn't help me because I'm far from Go and how does it work in different environments; so what I must to do for build it from source finally?

This means your go version is not at least go 1.16. As per your logs, you're running 1.15. 1.18 is the current release. You should upgrade your go compiler.

Debian is famously behind on its go releases. Here's the recommended way to get up to date:

https://go.dev/doc/install

Finally, I would recommend removing go from your package manager in debian so they don't conflict and you know which one you're running.
