Still not working when i enter go build now, no required module provided package github.com/jakewins/findbtc/detector; to add it go get github.com/jakewins/findbtc/detector: no matching versions for query upgrade

yes, i have installed it with go but after that in terminal it says findbtc is not a valid command
Well, probably it is because you haven't set up $GOPATH.

Try this way, download/clone the repository then unzip it. On CLI, go to that unzipped/cloned findbtc repository folder. Then run
Code:
go build .
After that you should be able to run findbtc by using the command "./findbtc".

Before you do it you should take into consideration about what @BitMaxz said, neither do I know this software well, so DWYOR. Also, just giving you a heads up, even if you are able to locate the wallet files, further work are needed to completely restore the wallet, reference: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15862720.

When i enter go build, it says , go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory; see go help modules

if it works on windows tell me the command if not
Looking at the issue at Github, the tool has a problem when it ran on Windows. So you better run it on Linux.

yes no luck , can someone just tell me how i can use this tool ? i need to serach in zip and compressed files , pywallet didnt find anything cuz it doesnt serach compressed and zip files ...
The tutorial on the readme Github file is crystal clear.
If you have installed Go, proceed by installing findbtc by running the below command on CLI
Code:
go get github.com/jakewins/findbtc

then run
Code:
findbtc /dev/sdX
Change X to your storage location. If you didn't know that, try to run "lsblk" on CLI, and you will be able to know which storage device you want to look upon using that tool.

yes, i have installed it with go but after that in terminal it says findbtc is not a valid command

Are you talking about this tool from Github?

- https://github.com/jakewins/findbtc

If this is the tool you talking about then the guide is already on that page just scroll down and read.

Take note this is not a well-known tool I never heard of it and I couldn't find it here on the forum it seems no one posted it here.
Can you tell us what do you plan why you want to install that tool and maybe we have some alternative way to fix your issue?
to recover bitcoins from a formatted hdd the tool is also searching in zip and rar files or any compressed file so i would like to use this tool over pywallet

i dont get the description its not working on windows and i have no clue how to install it on linux the description is not enough for me
