Hi everyone,

`go get` in Golang world has a simple way to fetch and install binary

```
$ go get github/foo/bar.git
$ export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin
$ bar --help
```

This saves a lot of time and setup. Is that an alternative when using dub?

Thanks a lot.

Hello,

you can use `dub build $name` to build the package. The resulting binary should be in $HOME/.dub/$name-$version/$name/bin then. You can also run the binary via `dub run $name -- $additional_args`, then you won't have to add that path to your PATH. If you haven't run `dub build $name` previously, `dub run $name` will do that for you.
