Package management

For example, if you have a Go project folder named goprojects, run the following commands in its root directory:

# Initialize a new go.mod file in the current directory to define the module name. The module name is usually the path of the repository URL. For example, the domain name is example.com and the project is goproject.
go mod init example.com/goproject

# Download the dependencies listed in the go.mod file. This command pulls the dependencies and places them in the $GOPATH/pkg/mod directory.
go mod download

# Clean up and synchronize the go.mod and go.sum files to ensure the dependency list is accurate.
go mod tidy

# go get: Downloads and installs a specified package and its dependencies.
# Add a version number after the package name, such as "@v1.0".
# For specific version numbers, see https://github.com/aliyun/alibaba-cloud-sdk-go/releases
go get [packages]
