go install support

[gen2brain]

There is already support for Go modules, and there is nothing with main package that can be installed with go install. What support did you mean?

I mean "beeep" can no longer be installed using "go get" as the readme describes. The project needs to support "go install".

Also, I haven't been able to use this project, not even manually. How do you import it? can you provide an example that actually works? 😅

[gen2brain]

Well, no, it does not need to support go install. You use that to install the binary in GOPATH/bin, when there is a binary, this is a library. Ignore the go get part, you don't need to install anything before, just go mod init your project, import the library, and use it.

# cat example.go 
package main

import "github.com/gen2brain/beeep"

func main() {
	err := beeep.Notify("Title", "Message body", "")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}


# go mod init example
go: creating new go.mod: module example
go: to add module requirements and sums:
	go mod tidy

# go mod tidy
go: finding module for package github.com/gen2brain/beeep
go: found github.com/gen2brain/beeep in github.com/gen2brain/beeep v0.0.0-20220402123239-6a3042f4b71a

# go build
# ./example

This is pretty much what you would use for any other library, nothing specific about this one.
