To install this package, you need to have a working installation of Go. Assuming you have Go properly installed, simply do:
go get -u github.com/freechessclub/icsgo
If you're using Go modules (Go 1.11+), this library can be used by simply
importing "github.com/freechessclub/icsgo" in your application. Using the usual Go commands go [build|run|test] will automatically download the required dependencies.
