Install Claat does not work

[TamimiGitHub]

Hey @ktenzweiler - it looks like starting with Go v1.17 the go get command for installing executables is deprecated https://go.dev/doc/go-get-install-deprecation

An alternative for this, assuming you already have go installed on your machine, you can do the following

1. Clone the google tools project repo into a google-tools directory git clone [email protected]:googlecodelabs/tools.git google-tools
2. Navigate to the claat command directory cd google-tools/claat
3. Build the claat command go build .. This will create a claat command executable that you can use.
4. Now you can update your PATH env variable (this is either done in your .bashrc, .profile, or .zshrc depending on what your shell is) export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/google-tools/claat. Note: this assumes you clones the google-tools repo in your $HOME directory. If cloned elsewhere, make sure you use the right path in your path export
5. After you do this, you can open up a new terminal window and executing claat from the command line should work

Thanks @TamimiGitHub. Let's go ahead and leave this open until we update the codelab to reflect your steps above.

@ktenzweiler please let us know if that solves your problem. Also if it doesn't can you let us know if you're using Windows, Mac or Linux?
