Hello Marta,

Thanks for the speedy reply. I followed the instructions at VirusTotal/vt-cli: VirusTotal Command Line Interface.

~ $ git clone https://github.com/VirusTotal/vt-cli

~ $ cd vt-cli
vt-cli $ make install
go install -ldflags "-X github.com/VirusTotal/vt-cli/cmd.Version=" github.com/VirusTotal/vt-cli/vt
vt-cli $ vt
-bash: vt: command not found
vt-cli $ vt init
-bash: vt: command not found

Brew installed Go:

vt-cli $ go version
go version go1.20.1 darwin/amd64

I followed the instructions you linked to at help with the installation of this repository · Issue #41 · VirusTotal/vt-cli and that worked.

For the sake of others having this problem this is what worked:

root@a7197fdf3d55:/vt-cli# go env GOPATH
/root/go
root@a7197fdf3d55:/vt-cli# go env GOBIN 

root@a7197fdf3d55:/vt-cli# export GOBIN=`go env GOPATH`/bin
root@a7197fdf3d55:/vt-cli# go env GOBIN
/root/go/bin
root@a7197fdf3d55:/vt-cli# ls $GOBIN
vt
root@a7197fdf3d55:/vt-cli# export PATH=$PATH:$GOBIN
root@a7197fdf3d55:/vt-cli# vt
A command-line tool for interacting with VirusTotal.

My question now is, why wasn't this part of the installation instructions as well as the suggestion that Go be installed using brew? I run into this problem a lot with github installations. They almost never work 'right out of the box'. It takes time to chase down the problem, and in this case I could find nothing online to help. The Darwin environment is significantly different from the other UNIces' environment, thanks to 'stupid Apple' and their agrammatical mantra 'Think different'. It would help if instructions were tested and written by an Apple user.
