Using https://golang.org/doc/code and Go 1.16.

The part where you use go install does not automatically download the remote package. What you see is in the document is:

$ go install example.com/user/hello
go: finding module for package github.com/google/go-cmp/cmp
go: downloading github.com/google/go-cmp v0.4.0
go: found github.com/google/go-cmp/cmp in github.com/google/go-cmp v0.4.0

What I got was:

$ go install example.com/user/hello
hello.go:7:2: no required module provides package github.com/google/go-cmp/cmp; to add it:
	go get github.com/google/go-cmp/cmp

After running go get github.com/google/go-cmp/cmp, rerunning produces:

$ go install example.com/user/hello
$

If I am correct, I am happy to update the document. If I am wrong, happy to learn why!

I am unable to reproduce the issue. Does this happen every time you enter the go install... command?

What are you seeing running which go and go version from the command line?
For example, I show: /usr/local/go/bin/go and go version go1.16 darwin/amd64

Thanks @Usarneme for trying. I just reran the entire document in 1.16 and its working. I suspect I must have messed up GO111 while messing around trying to confirm things. If I see again, will repost. Sorry about that.
