## getting started real fast
Here's what to do if you haven't already set up your `GOPATH`:
1. Run `go env` and figure out how your Go installation is configured
with respect to your `GOPATH`:
```shell
$ go env | grep GOPATH
GOPATH='/home/you/go'
```
2. Set up this repository within your `GOPATH`:
```shell
# If GOPATH is /home/you/go, then...
$ cd ~/go && mkdir -p pkg/git.bunk.computer/bunk/smsbb && cd pkg/git.bunk.computer/bunk
$ git clone https://git.bunk.computer/bunk/smsbb
$ cd smsbb
```
3. Get your Twilio Account SID and Auth Token and store them in the following environment
variables:
```shell
$ export SMSBB_ACCT_ID="..." # Your Twilio Account SID goes here
$ export SMSBB_AUTH_TOKEN="..." # Your Twilio Auth Token goes here
```
4. Run `smsbb`:
```shell
# In this example, +1 (828) 555-0123 is the "from" address, and
# +1 (828) 555-4567 is the "to" address
$ go run smsbb.go "+18285550123" "+18285554567" "This is your first message\!"
```
