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:

   $ go env | grep GOPATH
   GOPATH='/home/you/go'
   

2. Set up this repository within your GOPATH:

   # 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:

   $ export SMSBB_ACCT_ID="..." # Your Twilio Account SID goes here
   $ export SMSBB_AUTH_TOKEN="..." # Your Twilio Auth Token goes here
   

4. Run smsbb:

   # 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\!"
