`go install` errors

[drboone]

Doing go install github.com/barnybug/cli53/cmd/cli53@latest produces two errors:

go: github.com/barnybug/cli53/cmd/cli53@latest (in github.com/barnybug/cli53@v0.8.24): go.mod:3: invalid go version '1.23.0': must match format 1.23
go.mod:5: unknown directive: toolchain

Apparently the trailing .0 is invalid? Not sure what the toolchain error is about. This is apparently a known problem:

Your version of Go is probably too old; the toolchain directive was introduced in Go 1.21.

I couldn't find a download for my 686 linux system (I may just not have spotted it), so I decided to build cli53 from source.

Firts step was to install go.

For those (like me) that don't know go, using

go version go1.25.4 linux/386

the command in "Building from source" in the README

go get github.com/barnybug/cli53/cmd/cli53

returned

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'.

My next attempt:

go install github.com/barnybug/cli53/cmd/cli53

returned

go: 'go install' requires a version when current directory is not in a module
Try 'go install github.com/barnybug/cli53/cmd/cli53@latest' to install the latest version

With that clue,

go install github.com/barnybug/cli53/cmd/cli53@latest

worked.

And then cli53 worked nicely to export zone files from AWS Route53 for two domains - thank you to barnybug for a really nice tool.
