Go install google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go@v1.28 not working

[James_Brooke]

Hi, I’m struggling to find the reason why this command isn’t working for me. I’m getting the following. Any help greatly appreciated thank you.

@James_Brooke

package bufio is not in GOROOT

What version of Go do you have installed on the computer you’re running the build from? You can get that by running go version from a Command Prompt/Terminal.

[James_Brooke]

Thanks for your reply Sean. Output from go version is:

go version go1.18 darwin/amd64

And output of go env (if that helps) is: (if I recall I installed it with homebrew on my mac)
