Description
When I ran
make licensesit deleted all my licenses. The script is supposed to installgo-licensesbut I didn't have the installation location on my path. Better to just exit.Potentially we could gate the
go install, but I chose not to because I'm happy for it to keep updating me tolatestwhen I run this script.
