Improve installation documentation #103

Closed Thomas-lhuillier closed 1 year ago

It's not clear that you first need to clone the project and cd into it before running the go get mentioned here.

I wanted to install it, and after reading the docs, I simply copy-pasted the given command, and got the following error: 

$ go mod edit -replace github.com/hashicorp/terraform=github.com/cycloidio/terraform@v1.1.9-cy && go get github.com/cycloidio/terracost
go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory; see 'go help modules'

Then I figured out I may need to clone the repo first and cd into it, which did the trick.

(Also, I know it's a bit the cherry on top of the cake, but providing a brew formula would be awesome for macOS users 😅)

Closing as I realized it's a "pure" go package. Somehow I didn't realize that, for some reason I expected to be able to run it in the CLI (that said, it would make testing the library so much easier!)

Yes that's one of the thing I'm working on, to have a CLI to be able to use it directly if need be
