Support go get

[nylira]

If developers wanted to use the latest version of Starport right now they can only clone the repo and make it manually. That doesn't solve adding it to their machine's $PATH variable.

What if we supported

go get github.com/tendermint/starport

Would that be useful?

@nylira Running make inside a repo should install starport into ~/go/bin/. If it doesn't, it's a bug.

We do support go get! (be sure to run it outside of a dir with a go.mod or prefix the command with GO111MODULE=off)

go get github.com/tendermint/starport/...

What kind of error are you getting?

exec: "blogd": executable file not found in $PATH

solved with: export PATH=$PATH:~/go/bin

@nylira (correction) go get works, but for now it's not the best way to install Starport. When we move to a different packaging tool (from packr2 to statik), and test that go get works fine, we'll add this option to the readme.

The recommended way of installing Starport now is curl https://get.starport.network/starport! | bash. We'll probably not be supporting go get any time soon, just because Starport now includes too much to be simply go gettable.

Apparently, Starport should be "go gettable" (thanks @ilgooz!). I am getting an error, though:

fadeev@system ~ % go get github.com/tendermint/starport
go: downloading github.com/tendermint/starport v0.15.1
go get: github.com/tendermint/starport@v0.14.0 updating to

	github.com/gogo/protobuf@v1.3.3: reading github.com/gogo/protobuf/go.mod at revision v1.3.3: unknown revision v1.3.3

Seems like current version of Go does not support replace directives in go.mod when using go get.

As a workaround, git clone https://github.com/tendermint/starport.git && cd starport && go install ./... should work.
