How to install and use pup from golang?

I installed go through snap; now how do I invoke pup?

thufir@dur:~/pup$ thufir@dur:~/pup$ go get thufir@dur:~/pup$ thufir@dur:~/pup$ curl "" | pup 'div.tides' >out.html % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 Command 'pup' not found, but there are 17 similar ones. 100 268 100 268 0 0 740 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 740 (23) Failed writing body thufir@dur:~/pup$ thufir@dur:~/pup$ cat out.html thufir@dur:~/pup$ thufir@dur:~/pup$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 18.10 Release: 18.10 Codename: cosmic thufir@dur:~/pup$ 

Not sure that it's installed or not, actually:

thufir@dur:~/pup$ thufir@dur:~/pup$ go list can't load package: package .: no Go files in /home/thufir/pup thufir@dur:~/pup$ thufir@dur:~/pup$ go version go version go1.11.4 linux/amd64 thufir@dur:~/pup$ 

It looks interesting in and of itself. My info is:

thufir@dur:~/pup$ thufir@dur:~/pup$ go env GOARCH="amd64" GOBIN="" GOCACHE="/home/thufir/.cache/go-build" GOEXE="" GOFLAGS="" GOHOSTARCH="amd64" GOHOSTOS="linux" GOOS="linux" GOPATH="/home/thufir/go" GOPROXY="" GORACE="" GOROOT="/snap/go/3095" GOTMPDIR="" GOTOOLDIR="/snap/go/3095/pkg/tool/linux_amd64" GCCGO="gccgo" CC="gcc" CXX="g++" CGO_ENABLED="1" GOMOD="" CGO_CFLAGS="-g -O2" CGO_CPPFLAGS="" CGO_CXXFLAGS="-g -O2" CGO_FFLAGS="-g -O2" CGO_LDFLAGS="-g -O2" PKG_CONFIG="pkg-config" GOGCCFLAGS="-fPIC -m64 -pthread -fmessage-length=0 -fdebug-prefix-map=/tmp/go-build303962824=/tmp/go-build -gno-record-gcc-switches" thufir@dur:~/pup$ 

I tried running pup from the ~/go/ but got the same result.

I have the same issue trying to install pup.

Steps you have to follow:

1. export GOROOT=/usr/bin/go (path found running whereis go)

2. Go to your GOPATH:

   cd /home/thufir/go There you will find a bin folder and inside the pup binary

3. Copy binary pup to /usr/bin/

   sudo cp pup /usr/bin

4. Check if pup is correctly installed

   pup --version

   I hope it works.
