Installation

Echo is distributed as a Go module: github.com/labstack/echo/v5.

Requirements

Echo v5 requires Go 1.25 or newer.

go version

Add to a project

Inside an existing module:

go get github.com/labstack/echo/v5

Or start a new module:

mkdir myapp && cd myapp
go mod init myapp
go get github.com/labstack/echo/v5

Import it in your code:

import "github.com/labstack/echo/v5"

Versions

Version	Import path	Status
v5	github.com/labstack/echo/v5	Current
v4	github.com/labstack/echo/v4	LTS (maintenance)

Note

Echo follows semantic import versioning — the major version is part of the import path, so v4 and v5 can coexist during a migration.

Keeping up to date

go get github.com/labstack/echo/v5
go mod tidy
