go get results in a "cannot find package" error on Windows 10 #49

On windows 10 if you do the install command $ go get -u github.com/mholt/timeliner/cmd/timeliner you get the above error.

Not sure how to resolve it. I have the latest go version by the way.

Same here, but am running Ubuntu Linux (on a Docker container), go1.13.1 linux/amd64

Not sure if these issues were 1:1 related (I am building outside of GOPATH), but PR https://github.com/mholt/timeliner/pull/48 fixes this

Concrete steps to get a build from that PR going:

$ git clone https://github.com/fawick/timeliner.git
$ cd timeliner/cmd/timeliner/
$ go build

Bob's your uncle. :+1: for the PR!

@mholt, if the PR merge takes some time, could we temporarily add a link to this issue under the "Install" section in README so new users don't get discouraged by installation being too hard? If you want, I can send the README PR I suggested.

Merged, thanks for the bump!
