Document process of installing go version 1.12 #20

Closed jvasile closed 4 years ago

jvasile commented 4 years ago

go-orbit-db only works with version 1.12. For users that are on 1.13 but don't want to roll back system-wide, we can use "go get" to install an old version of golang. This is the easiest way to installing multiple go versions and teaching your system to let them co-exist.

This patch documents the two needed commands, notes when they are needed, and informs the user how to use the resulting version 1.12 binary.

BTW, any plans to make this work with version golang v1.13 and later?

Hi James,

Thank you for your PRs, we are indeed considering supporting go 1.13 and @gfanton is doing work related to it (which might conflict with #21).

Thus, at this point we don't plan to document installing an older version of go on the README.md file

jvasile commented 4 years ago

That's a good reason to reject this PR. Shall we close it?

glouvigny commented 4 years ago

Before closing this PR (along #21), can you confirm us that you can install and use this lib as expected?
