The gore command requires Go tool-chains on runtime, so standalone binary is not distributed.
go get -u github.com/motemen/gore/cmd/gore
Make sure $GOPATH/bin
is in your $PATH
.
Also recommended:
go get -u github.com/mdempsky/gocode # for code completion
go get -u github.com/k0kubun/pp # or github.com/davecgh/go-spew/spew
- If you see
too many arguments in call to mainScope.LookupParent
while installing gore, rungo get -u golang.org/x/tools/go/types
. - gore runs code using
go run
for each input. If you have entered time-consuming code, gore will run it for each input and take some time. - To import a local package, first fetch it with
go get my/package
, then:import
will work properly.
