Help installing

[jwtalbot]

Hi,

Please help.
I've no idea how to use go but I've run through the following steps with no luck...

$ sudo apt -y install golang
$ go get github.com/tazjin/watchblob/...

And nothing happens.

So ive dl'd the repo manually but only have the files...
.gitignore
README.md
main.go fix
main_test.go
urls.go

What do I do with them?

Sorry for what I'm sure is a stupid question.

Hey!

Chances are if you ran go get ... and it did "nothing" (no output), Go actually installed the binary in your GOPATH.

Check the folder $HOME/go/bin and see if anything is in there. You can also just run go build in the folder you downloaded manually.

Go's tooling is notoriously bad so I'm not surprised you ran into this :)
