Install Command Doesn't Do Anything

[jfredson]

Hello! I am excited to try this application for the first time on MacOS. I have installed Go version 1.23.2 as instructed in the Read Me but when I run the go install github.com/reugn/gemini-cli/cmd/gemini@latest command nothing happens.

Do you have any insight on how to troubleshoot this? As there is no error message and the command seems to run fine (but not do anything), I am confused how to approach figuring this out.

Thanks so much.

Hi, @jfredson. See the go install instructions.

The go install command builds and installs the packages named by the paths on the command line. Executables (main packages) are installed to the directory named by the GOBIN environment variable, which defaults to $GOPATH/bin or $HOME/go/bin if the GOPATH environment variable is not set. Executables in $GOROOT are installed in $GOROOT/bin or $GOTOOLDIR instead of $GOBIN.
