I cannot find good tutorial about creating repo + node by means ipfs in go. Also, it will be nice to find how to create a daemon by means go lib. The world is going crazy… Only JS is everywhere 😭 ---

I tried this tutorial and unfortunately I can’t make the code to work for me 😢 I get these errors: ```bash # github.com/multiformats/go-multiaddr-net ../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/multiformats/go-multiaddr-net@v0.2.0/registry.go:25:17: undefined: manet.NetCodec ../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/multiformats/go-multiaddr-net@v0.2.0/registry.go:29:2: undefined: manet.RegisterNetCodec # github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-noise ../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-noise@v0.2.0/handshake.go:202:40: s.LocalPublicKey().Bytes undefined (type "github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-core/crypto".PubKey has no field or method Bytes) # github.com/ipfs/go-ipns ../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/ipfs/go-ipns@v0.1.0/ipns.go:276:20: pk.Bytes undefined (type "github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-core/crypto".PubKey has no field or method Bytes) # github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p/p2p/protocol/identify ../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p@v0.14.3/p2p/protocol/identify/id.go:536:23: ownKey.Bytes undefined (type "github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-core/crypto".PubKey has no field or method Bytes) ``` Do you have any suggestions? Has anybody encountered the same issues? (GoLang v1.16.6) ---

Master works when doing `go mod tidy` first. I don’t get to reproduce the errors. But I know where they come from. If you are trying your own code, please require go-libp2p-core v0.8.6 and not v0.9.0 and go-multiaddr v0.3.3 and not v0.4.0. ---

Thank you @hector, yes I was trying my own code. Are there anywhere any resources that contain package compatibility information? ---

The code is your best resource. Go to go-ipfs/go.mod and use the same versions for ensure compatibility. Alternatively to libp2p/go-libp2p. Normally things work with latest tagged versions of everything, but not always. A new libp2p release is coming up that will resolve these issues. ---

Hi hector, I’ve been working to refactor ipget so I can use it to download state snapshots for blockchains. I want to embed it, and I want to do that in a single line of code. Here’s the code: > **[GitHub - notional-labs/get: golang library for downloading ipfs files](https://github.com/notional-labs/get)** > > golang library for downloading ipfs files. Contribute to notional-labs/get development by creating an account on GitHub. If I use the latest versions, I get what @chrispang describes. Exactly that, even. If I use current versions, I get: ```auto # github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/core/coreapi ../../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs@v0.9.1/core/coreapi/path.go:52:18: undefined: resolver.ResolveOnce ../../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs@v0.9.1/core/coreapi/path.go:64:3: unknown field 'DAG' in struct literal of type resolver.Resolver ../../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs@v0.9.1/core/coreapi/path.go:65:3: unknown field 'ResolveOnce' in struct literal of type resolver.Resolver ``` and what I need to do, is create a stable, embeddable tool that allows people to make deterministic downloads. ---

Seems like you updated `go-ipfs` but not it’s dependencies in your `go.mod`. ---

I checked out your repo and it works for me. ---

had intermittent issues-- thank you for checking! I am not sure I will continue to develop this software, but it was a fun exercise.
