Tomo Suzuki commented on BEAM-8798:
-----------------------------------

The goVet problem is solved by :


{noformat}
$ go version # I think the version should be >= 1.12
go version go1.13.4 linux/amd64
$ export GOPATH=`pwd`/sdks/go/examples/.gogradle/project_gopath
$ go get github.com/linkedin/goavro # Why isn't this automatically installed?
$ ls $GOPATH/src/github.com
golang  linkedin
$ ./gradlew :sdks:go:examples:goVet --stacktrace
...
BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 52s

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-8798
>             Project: Beam
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: website
>    Affects Versions: 2.16.0
>            Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
>            Priority: Major

> So far I've noticed the following packages and tools that are not available by default on a Debian system, need to be installed to build and test beam, and are not yet mentioned in all our docs:
> * tox
> * Go
> * Python (which versions?)
> * Docker
> There might be more. The docs such as README.md should be updated to include these. This covers README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/BEAM/Contributor+FAQ, and https://beam.apache.org/contribute/
> That we have four such docs is itself an issue. We should probably consolidate these.
