Error when trying to run the software downloaded from github, what could be the problem?

Question

go

Sobsvenno, subject. About Go - I don't know anything at all. And this is the first experience with Github.
Ubuntu 14.04, go version 1.2.1 (attempts to update to 1.4.2 from the sources only led to pain), everything is done from the root because the virtual machine is so far.
When I try to download via go get github.com/..../someshit gives

#github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3
Go type not supported in export: [0]byte

While I'm downloading, it's not go-sqlite3.
I downloaded it in a zip archive, unpacked it, an attempt to run it through go run * .go leads to exactly the same results.
I downloaded the go-sqlite3 zip archive, and I don’t really understand what exactly to do with it at all. The content, just in case, is in $GOPATH
In general, does anyone know what it is in general, how to deal with it and the address of the person who came up with all this?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Works on my machine. The author of the package has a good reputation. I see your mistake for the first time. General recommendations
The person who came up with all this is Rob Pike, it is not correct to open the address, but you can write to [email protected], he reads.

Answer 2

I don’t know what the trick is here, but there is such a thing as gitignore. The necessary things to launch could have been added to it, they were not in the repository, and perhaps because of this it does not come out to run. Well, that's one of the options.
