Broken installation #15

Closed SharkFourSix closed 10 months ago

SharkFourSix commented 10 months ago

Installing without root shows fails and asks for root.

Running with sudo installs to /root/ making it inaccessible to other users.

Hello @SharkFourSix Thank you for sharing the issue and sorry for your inconvenience.

Would you please share more details with me?

# What's your output for
uname -a

What method did you use to run the script?
Does the user that you used to run the command have the required permissions?

I found what the issue was.

Do not export $GOROOT, only $GOPATH, and only if necessary.

The reason it was failing was because goroot and gopath were pointing to the same directory so the installation script was failing to move/delete files.

Great. Should we close the issue then?

SharkFourSix commented 10 months ago

Yes please. Sorry forgot to do that
