go install not creating binary of a package while go get is able to

I am on go version go1.11.2 linux/amd64. When the package godog is installed using go get github.com/DATA-DOG/godog/, godog executable is created inside $GOPATH/bin/. All fine till now.

I am creating an application myApp that resides at $GOPATH/src/ in which under the folder vendor, godog package is added. When I try to create a binary out of vendor-ed package, an archive file is created inside $GOPATH/pkg/linux_amd64/myApp/vendor/github.com/DATA-DOG/ as godog.a

How can I create a binary in this scenario? I do not want to do go get again just for the binary.

go install does not automatically install apps in vendor folders, but you may specify a vendored path explicitly if you wish so. So simply run:

go install myApp/vendor/github.com/DATA-DOG/godog/cmd/godog
