+Install go-enum as a project tool with dependency tracking in `go.mod`:
+
+```shell
+go get -tool github.com/abice/go-enum@latest
+```
+
+This will add a tool dependency to your `go.mod` file:
+
+```mod
+tool github.com/abice/go-enum
+```
+
+You can then run the tool using:
+
+```shell
+go tool go-enum [options]
