Complete install instructions

[bbros-dev]

We find it nearly impossible to read the GIF embedded in README.md showing some bingo setup from scratch.

Squinting with tilted heads we think we can make out some variables being set before the install is attempted.

However in the written instructions there is no reference to env variables to be set?

[bwplotka]

Env variables will be generated. It's as easy as running bingo get <tool url> and you can see generated .bingo/variables.env file.

Does this help?

[bbros-dev]

OK, we found this file detailing the demo in the README.md:

export GOBIN=$(pwd)/.bin && export PATH=${PATH}:${GOBIN} 
go get -u github.com/bwplotka/bingo

Are those exports required or not?

If not I suggest changing the demo shown to be consistent with the instructions.
If so I suggest adding them to the instructions lower down.

Installing this is proving quite tricky:

Those envs are not required, but useful. Will work with default (empty variables), so I think this is fine.

Can you provide exact commands you install with? (:

We've moved on and likely won't come back to Go land for a few months.
Closing this as not currently an issue - but happy for you to reopen if you think there is value.
