Docs: update install instructions for Go 1.17+ and mention distro packages #1315
Description
The current install docs still reference go get and GOPATH workflows, which have been deprecated since Go 1.17. Following them on a modern Go toolchain results in errors like:
go: -d flag is deprecated. -d=true is a no-op
go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory.
'go get' is no longer supported outside a module.
To build and install a command, use 'go install' with a version,
like 'go install example.com/cmd@latest'
For more information, see https://golang.org/doc/go-get-install-deprecation
or run 'go help get' or 'go help install'.The recommended install is:
# Latest version with postgres support
go install -tags 'postgres' github.com/golang-migrate/migrate/v4/cmd/migrate@latest
# Or pin a version
go install -tags 'postgres' github.com/golang-migrate/migrate/v4/cmd/migrate@v4.17.0Additionally, Fedora users can install migrate via the package manager:
sudo dnf install migrateProposal:
- Replace
go getinstructions withgo installexamples (Go ≥1.17). - Add a small “Linux distro packages” section mentioning Fedora’s
dnfpackage and leaving room for others (brew, apt, etc.).
Happy to open a PR with these changes if this direction makes sense.
