Instructions to build?

[delormej]

As someone new to GO, there doesn't seem to be a build file or instructions on how to build the project? Could you add a section on build instructions? Thank you!

I'll do a PR on the man page, but here's what I found to work for me (on Linux/Mac):

1. Install Go (https://golang.org/doc/install)
2. Create a directory $HOME/go/src/github.com/stilldavid/
3. Clone the repo into the dir created in Error running ffmpeg #2
4. export GOPATH=$HOME/go
5. go get github.com/stilldavid/gopro-utils/bin/gopro2json
6. go install github.com/stilldavid/gopro-utils/bin/gopro2json

I'm having an issue when I do this (working on windows)

When I do step 5, it says:

can't` query specific version for package github.com/stilldavid/gopro-utils/bin/gopro2json in the main module

If I try to ignore that and go to step 6, i get :

    go: inconsistent vendoring in C:\Go\src:
            go.mod requires github.com/paulmach/go.geo v0.0.0-20180829195134-22b514266d33 but vendor/modules.txt does not include it.
    run 'go mod tidy; go mod vendor' to sync

Any idea why I can't build/install this? I know nothing about using Go or these functions, thank you!

Also, running 'go mod tidy; go mod vendor' (either of them) will return

      go: github.com/paulmach/go.geo/go.geo-master: looping trying to add package

Nothing changes if return to step 5 or 6 at this point. I'm brand new to this, I'm not sure how to fix this

These install instructions are not working for me. After step 6 I can not just run gopro2json from the command line. I am on a Mac.

Does anyone have updated build and run instructions?

Usage of bin/gopro2json:
  -i string
    	Required: telemetry file to read
  -o string
    	Required: json file to write

That is,

• mkdir $HOME/Go
• export GOPATH=$HOME/Go
• mkdir $GOPATH/{bin,pkg}
• go install github.com/stilldavid/gopro-utils/bin/gopro2json@latest

and you are done. Go made multiple incompatible changes on how it uses $GOPATH, but that made it actually easier.
