working directory is not part of a module

[Akshat3108]

Hi,
I installed Gin and when i try to go run main.go i get the following error

main.go:6:2: no required module provides package github.com/gin-gonic/gin: working directory is not part of a module

This is because you need to initialize your go.mod in your project.

do a go mod init, and then go get github.com/gin-gonic/gin in the console. First command will create the go.mod and go.sum (to keep track of your dependencies) and then the second command will download gin as a dependency for your project.

I meet the same issue in this QuickStart
https://gin-gonic.com/docs/quickstart/#:~:text=go%20%3E%20main.go-,Run%20your%20project,-%24%20go%20run%20main

Could you add the go mod init into the guide?
