Cannot execute go get github.com/missinglink/pbf

[jengeb]

Hi @missinglink,

Thank you for providing this repository.

After executing go get github.com/missinglink/pbf with version go1.6.2 linux/amd64 I received the following message with the prompt to configure the gopath:

package github.com/missinglink/pbf: cannot download, $GOPATH not set. For more details see: go help gopath

After adding the following lines to ~/.bashrc:

export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin

and applying this by running source ~/.bashrc I could execute the go get github.com/missinglink/pbf command, but received this response:

package math/bits: unrecognized import path "math/bits" (import path does not begin with hostname)
package context: unrecognized import path "context" (import path does not begin with hostname)

Do you have a hint how to fix this and continue the installation (on Ubuntu 16.04, 64-bit)?

Best,
Jenny

hi @jengeb, it looks like one of the dependencies is using a new API from golang 1.9+
please try upgrading your golang and try again.

ref: golang/go#18616

@jengeb confirmed it's working on golang 1.10, I will update the README

@missinglink Thank you very much for your answer. I updated golang to version 1.10 and could execute go get github.com/missinglink/pbf properly.
