I am still working out how to program in Golang. I find it really interesting and a language that I definitely want to develop more apps in.

One thing that I am stuck on is how to compile the ziti binary.

I have done the following steps

1. go mod init
2. I copied the contents of the go mod file from the parent directory.

When I enter go build.. nothing happens

When I enter go build ziti.go.. I get the following

# command-line-arguments

./ziti.go:154:21: undefined: Options  
./ziti.go:205:54: undefined: Options  
./ziti.go:207:13: undefined: DefaultOptions  
./ziti.go:245:37: undefined: ServiceRemoved  
./ziti.go:261:37: undefined: ServiceAdded  
./ziti.go:265:38: undefined: ServiceChanged

I really don't know what I am doing..

> any tips?

You probably need go 1.18 now. You should just be able to run

```auto
go build ./... -o outputfolder

```

There’s tons of really good resources online for learning go. Usually for me it comes down to my go version when the above command doesn’t just work
