-bash: xcaddy: command not found

Hi,

I hope this is not a terrible question, I did try my best to solve the problem, but it just doesn't work.

I first installed go 1.14.2 following this page: Getting Started. I did remember to add /usr/local/go/bin to $PATH. Everything was fine and this test succeeded.

Then I set $GO111MODULE to on. And I ran go get -u github.com/caddyserver/xcaddy/cmd/xcaddy as instructed. I tried to run this command almost everywhere: my home directory, I cloned caddy and run this command. But whatever I do, there is no such command called xcaddy.

go get will install the binary into your $GOPATH/bin, which is different from /usr/local/go/bin. It doesn't seem to be very well-documented anymore, unfortunately. If you add that path to your PATH then it should work. Look in $HOME/go/bin for the xcaddy binary.

(Closing, but feel free to reopen if this turns out to be an issue with our repo!)

I get that error too! When I use cd /root/go/bin I see a file named xcaddy. But when I run any command about xcaddy it give me an error like "-bash: xcaddy: command not found"

For anyone coming from AWS, I got this to work on AWS Linux 2023 AMI. Note that I'm just building with the route53 plugin.
