dep ensure fails with root project import: not found is GOPATH/src

[benjaminrclayton]

From the README:
6. Run dep ensure to install all prerequisite packages needed to run the EBS.

Command run?

$ dep ensure
root project import: ..\developer-rig\animal-facts\ebs is not within any GOPATH/src

GOPATH

set GOPATH=..\developer-rig\animal-facts\ebs

I tried setting the GOPATH to other directories (like \animal-facts) but received the same error.

I admit I am not a GO expert by any means.

Go newbie here, upon googling the following seems to build it at least, no dep needed.

cd ebs  # if you haven't already
go mod init $YOUR_FAV_MODULE_NAME  # I chose `github.com/twitchdev/animal-facts`, not sure about the go conventions.
go mod vendor
go build

Hope it gets merged by someone who knows what {s,/}he is doing.
