Dep
dep
is a dependency management tool for Go. It requires Go 1.9 or newer to compile.
NOTE: Dep was an official experiment to implement a package manager for Go. As of 2020, Dep is deprecated and archived in favor of Go modules, which have had official support since Go 1.11. For more details, see https://golang.org/ref/mod.

$ brew upgrade dep
On Debian platforms you can install or upgrade to the latest version with apt-get:
$ sudo apt-get install go-dep
On Windows, you can download a tarball from go.equinox.io.
On other platforms you can use the install.sh

It will install into your $GOPATH/bin
directory by default or any other directory you specify using the INSTALL_DIRECTORY

If your platform is not supported, you'll need to build it manually or let the team know and we'll consider adding your platform to the release builds.
