  1. I also tried following this guide here https://lindevs.com/install-dnsx-on-ubuntu and got basically the same issue, except after the installation I tried to run dnsx -up again and I got this error:

  1. So I ran the same command with sudo ( sudo dnsx -up ) but got the same error as step 6.

Expected behaviour

  1. Followed Go install at https://go.dev/doc/install
  2. Ensure proper go version is installed (1.26.5)
  3. Install dnsx with go install -v github.com/projectdiscovery/dnsx/cmd/dnsx@latest
  4. Run latest version of dnsx

System Information

I'm running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS x86_64.
I had reinstalled go with the updated 1.25.6 version prior to this installation.

Any other questions please ask.
