I'm currently trying to properly setup Go and SpongeHome plus run it and it doesn't work out well when following the instructions provided in the readme.

What part are you struggling with?

Tzky commented

I've set it up now, but the instructions could get some love especially regarding $gopath

@Tzky Me too! But I figured it out after some lots of research.

Just to document which issues i was running into:

  • go get URL wasn't working at first
  • had to understand the folder structure of Go (which i wasn't forced to use later, but you never know...)
  • had to add $gopath variable on win8.1x64

I somehow managed to get it into a working state though.

The instructions seem clear enough for me - seems as if a different tutorial for installing Go would help.
