protoc-gen-grpc-gateway" is a program, not an importable packagego list

📚 Documentation

In the compile-from-source part of the README, it says to import _ "github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway/v2/protoc-gen-grpc-gateway". But I get an error, albeit just a linting error.

import "github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway/v2/protoc-gen-grpc-gateway" is a program, not an importable packagego list
Command protoc-gen-grpc-gateway is a plugin for Google protocol buffer compiler to generate a reverse-proxy, which converts incoming RESTful HTTP/1 requests gRPC invocation. You rarely need to run this program directly. Instead, put this program into your $PATH with a name "protoc-gen-grpc-gateway" and run

protoc --grpc-gateway_out=output_directory path/to/input.proto
See README.md for more details.

Is this just something to do with the linting setting I may have in VSCode?
These are my vscode settings.json for go

"go.formatTool": "goimports",
    "go.useLanguageServer": true,
    "go.testFlags": ["-v"],
    "go.testOnSave": true,
    "go.testTimeout": "30s",
    "go.enableCodeLens": {
      "runtest": true
    },
    "[go]": {
        "editor.formatOnSave": true, // Enable format on save for Go files
        "editor.tabSize": 2,
        "editor.insertSpaces": true, // Ensure spaces are used instead of tabs
        "editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
          "source.organizeImports": "always"
        },
        "editor.quickSuggestions": {
          "other": true,
          "comments": true,
          "strings": true
        }
    },

I finally pushed this up to my repo and got this error in the github action logs. Any info on what is wrong here?
