What it means is, you must give a name (import path) for your package.
go mod init example
will do. "go mod init github.com/myuser/myproject" is better, if you
intend to publish your project on github for others to be able to import.
However in your case,
go mod init multack
would have been fine. To install it, you should just do "go install" (or
"go install .") in the same directory - not cd out to an outer directory.
Then you'll find it creates a "multack" binary in ~/go/bin
To avoid confusion, do all of this completely outside the ~/go tree. Just
forget that ~/go/src exists.
$ cd
$ mkdir zzz
$ cd zzz
$ go mod init multack
go: creating new go.mod: module multack
$ echo 'package main; func main() {}' >main.go
$ go install
$ ls -l ~/go/bin/multack
