I am trying to run the command dep ensure on my Ubuntu 16.04, but the system is unable to find the command. When I run sudo apt install dep or any other installation commands, I always get this error when I run dep ensure:
No command 'dep' found, did you mean:
Command 'dp' from package 'speech-tools' (universe)
Command 'iep' from package 'emboss' (universe)
Command 'dwp' from package 'binutils' (main)
Command 'dex' from package 'dex' (universe)
Command 'rep' from package 'rep' (universe)
Command 'delp' from package 'fp-utils-3.0.0' (universe)
Command 'xep' from package 'pvm-examples' (universe)
dep: command not found
Someone tells me I need Ubuntu 18 to run dep, but I would like to know how I can install this on my current Ubuntu. Thanks.

To see if a package is available in the repo's you use, type apt-cache search dep or apt-cache search go-dep.
Go dep is not available in the 16.04 repo's. It is available in the 18.04 repo's, so 'someone' was (at least partially) right.
Maybe you can install it from Github?
Install and usage of go-dep on Ubuntu 16.04:
Create bin directory inside $GOPATH
cd $GOPATH
mkdir bin
Now download the compiled dep file.
curl | sh
Copy the dep file from $GOPATH/go/bin to the project's root location.
Execute the dep file with commands
./dep [command]
dep commands:
Usage: "dep [command]"
Commands:
init Set up a new Go project, or migrate an existing one
status Report the status of the project's dependencies
ensure Ensure a dependency is safely vendored in the project
version Show the dep version information
check Check if imports, Gopkg.toml, and Gopkg.lock are in sync
Examples:
dep init set up a new project
dep ensure install the project's dependencies
dep ensure -update update the locked versions of all dependencies
dep ensure -add add a dependency to the project
Use "dep help [command]" for more information about a command.
You can have it in your PATH
curl -LO
chmod 700 install.sh
./install.sh
chmod +x $GOPATH/bin/dep
sudo mv $GOPATH/bin/dep /usr/local/bin/
so you can call it from everywhere dep
