How to properly import local packages in Go (Golang) — step-by-step guide
Hello everyone! I recently started learning Go and ran into a problem that completely baffles me. I'm trying to organize code in multiple files within one project, but importing local packages doesn't work.
Here's my project structure:
```
myproject/
├── main.go
└── helpers/
└── math.go
```
In the file `helpers/math.go`, I declared the package `package helpers` and the function `Add(a, b int) int`.
In `main.go`, I'm trying to import this package:
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"myproject/helpers" // tried different paths

}
```
But when I run `go run main.go`, I get an error:
```
main.go:4:2: package myproject/helpers is not in GOROOT (/usr/local/go/src/myproject/helpers)
```
I've tried different path variants: `./helpers`, `../helpers`, `helpers` — nothing helps. I've heard something about modules, but I don't understand how to set them up correctly. Please advise how to properly
