Overview / Motivation

We really want users and developers to easily setup and start go-spacemesh

The Task

Since we removed protobuf’s pb files from the repository go get fails to install go-spacemesh since its missing the generated files. we should find a way to let users download spacemesh using go get

err log:

package github.com/spacemeshos/go-spacemesh/api/pb: no Go files in /go/src/github.com/spacemeshos/go-spacemesh/api/pb
package github.com/spacemeshos/go-spacemesh/p2p/pb: no Go files in /go/src/github.com/spacemeshos/go-spacemesh/p2p/pb
package github.com/spacemeshos/go-spacemesh/p2p/dht/pb: no Go files in /go/src/github.com/spacemeshos/go-spacemesh/p2p/dht/pb
The command '/bin/sh -c go get -u github.com/spacemeshos/go-spacemesh' returned a non-zero code: 1

Implementation Notes

It might be a good option to look in to go:generate or anything that can help go get generate the pb files before trying to compile
