Magefile install requires GOBIN env #334

Howdy!, I was having issues with the go mod bootstrap install instructions because my go set up didn't have GOBIN defined. Would it be worth it to make that more explicit in the instructions? Thanks, I'm looking forward to doing away with bash for my setups!

you can set the GOBIN environment variable to the desired directory where you want the executables to be installed. For example, you can do this:

export GOBIN=/path/to/desired/directory

Alternatively, you can simply run go install directly without using go mod bootstrap. This will install the executables to the default location, which is $GOPATH/bin.
