This library is not command.

So, You should do go get github.com/google/uuid

The Readme also says so.

When I use go get-- I get an error:
$go get github.com/google/uuid
go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory.
'go get' is no longer supported outside a module.
To build and install a command, use 'go install' with a version,
like 'go install example.com/cmd@latest'
For more information, see https://golang.org/doc/go-get-install-deprecation
or run 'go help get' or 'go help install'.

Don't use get or install, Just import github/google/uuid in the file, it will work

This does not work, the package needs to be installed otherwise it cannot be found and it can't be installed because it is not a main package

I was having the same problem and I discovered that u have to init a module so I run go mod init and go get github.com/google/uuid works good for me (I'm learning so do not judge me please 😂)
