Can't install chisel

[mcollins78728]

The command to install chisel does not seem to work.

go install github.com/canonical/chisel/cmd/chisel@latest

Results in an error message

can't load package: package github.com/canonical/chisel/cmd/chisel@latest: cannot use path@version syntax in GOPATH mode
