Following https://github.com/ipfs/ipget#install-from-source on a mac:

go get -d github.com/ipfs/ipget
package gx/ipfs/QmQa2wf1sLFKkjHCVEbna8y5qhdMjL8vtTJSAc48vZGTer/go-ipfs/path: unrecognized import path "gx/ipfs/QmQa2wf1sLFKkjHCVEbna8y5qhdMjL8vtTJSAc48vZGTer/go-ipfs/path" (import path does not begin with hostname)
package gx/ipfs/QmVcLF2CgjQb5BWmYFWsDfxDjbzBfcChfdHRedxeL3dV4K/cli: unrecognized import path "gx/ipfs/QmVcLF2CgjQb5BWmYFWsDfxDjbzBfcChfdHRedxeL3dV4K/cli" (import path does not begin with hostname)
package gx/ipfs/Qmdk8Ea9GkbwHr7UNKVYaLRwwHSt69xBXuSvRVyNWZ9sZE/fallback-ipfs-shell: unrecognized import path "gx/ipfs/Qmdk8Ea9GkbwHr7UNKVYaLRwwHSt69xBXuSvRVyNWZ9sZE/fallback-ipfs-shell" (import path does not begin with hostname)

@montanaflynn @doyzfly @LastExile16 this is an expected error as imports in ipget are specified with the hash produced by the gx tool. Follow the instructions to install from source. The key step is to run make install inside the ipget directory. go get -d github.com/ipfs/ipget is just used to download the source code and it isn't expected to be able to be built at that point.

@lanzafame that should probably be documented on the page, otherwise users like me will think it's broken and not continue onto the next steps.

The gx tool is no longer used, so this problem is not happening anymore.
