web.go install error

Question

I am trying to install web.go using goinstall github.com/hoisie/web.go, and I keep getting an error about the path.

goinstall: github.com/hoisie/web.go: git: no such file or directory

goinstall is working for sure because when I type in just goinstall I get the options list for it. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Done. Sorry Sebastian, you are correct I should have put the second question into a new area. Thanks for the tip! New location = stackoverflow.com/questions/2893772/… — Metropolis

You need to install git (http://git-scm.com) in order to fetch packages from a git repository.

Cheers,

Ah....so git HAS to be installed? I am a Mercurial user and I was trying to avoid Git :p

If you install web.go through goinstall, you need to do:

import "github.com/hoisie/web.go"

Thanks marketer that worked....That path is kind of messy, can I just move the files in there to a better location? Or will that cause goinstall to not know where it is when I update it?
