Deprecation of 'go get' for installing executables #124

Closed mehrankamal closed 2 years ago

In main readme file in Section: Installation we are using go get for installation which is deprecated as of Go 1.17. Details here

We can update the instructions for using go install instead using the version suffix for installation as a binary.

I would be happy to open a pull request for resolving the issue and add instructions for Go 1.17 in installation section.

Better still just make the executable available from a link so one does not to pollute the env with the deps for this package. All i want is the executable.

Use something like go releaser - https://github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser

Thanks for the heads up, I wasn't aware this was about to change for Go 1.18. I already wanted to make some other changes to the README, so I've updated this as well.
