How to install and use pup from golang?

Question

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

thufir@dur:~/pup$ 
thufir@dur:~/pup$ go get github.com/ericchiang/pup
thufir@dur:~/pup$ 
thufir@dur:~/pup$ curl "skynet.be/nieuws-sport/weer/mijn-weer?cityId=6450" | pup 'div.tides' >out.html

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:

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.
