go install
(https://go.dev/ref/mod#go-install) is recommended as the way to install binaries rather than go get
.
If I run go get github.com/reugn/wifiqr
from the README.md
I see the following output:
go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory.
'go get' is no longer supported outside a module.
To build and install a command, use 'go install' with a version,
like 'go install example.com/cmd@latest'
For more information, see https://golang.org/doc/go-get-install-deprecation
or run 'go help get' or 'go help install'.
What do you think about updating the readme to go install github.com/reugn/wifiqr/cmd/wifiqr@latest
, it will install wifiqr
to the go bin folder.
Note: I tried go install github.com/reugn/wifiqr@latest
but get the following output:
package github.com/reugn/wifiqr is not a main package
Looking at other projects (e.g. https://github.com/knipferrc/fm) a simple main.go
at the root should do the trick to make it work.
