How to install this tool?

I installed Go and then installed as instructed by the readme:

go get -u github.com/google/addlicense

addlicense is still not an executable on my system as far as I can tell. How do I run addlicense?

It is indeed not clear where the binary gets installed to. After some digging, I found it at $HOME/go/bin/addlicense.

As Xiuming mentioned, the binary gets installed to $HOME/go/bin/addlicense. If you want to be able to execute it anywhere on your system, I recommend setting a GOPATH environment variable.

That was it for me on MacOS! Thank you

closing this, since it sounds like you got thing sorted out. I'll also note that we are working on publishing releases with pre-built binaries for common platforms, so that will be another option soon.
