This PR updates the installation instructions in the README to reflect the changes introduced in Go 1.16. The current
go getcommand no longer installs the binary when using the module mode, which is now the default for Go.The proposed change uses
go install:This will ensure that the binary is correctly installed to
GOBIN(orGOPATH/binifGOBINis not set).Why this change is necessary:
go getcommand as it currently stands in the README only downloads the source code without installing the executable in Go 1.16+.go installis the recommended way to install binaries from a module in Go 1.16 and later.
