distrubute the binary via homebrew for OSX

This is really a brilliant piece of software, and when you need something like this a google search reveals very few options, gnuplot with set terminal dumb is the main reasonable choice.

This would be accessible to a much wider audience if it could be installed via homebrew, the package manger for macOS / OSX. Basically its a sane way to manage executables.

A perfect example is hugo, the static website generator written in golang, with a simple install via brew install hugo.

I don't program in go, but termeter is perfect for me therefore I went to the trouble of installing go, dealing with path updates to my .zshrc, etc. And then go build termeter.

This is too much work when all I need is the executable.

This is easier these days as homebrew offers brew install go

You'll still need to setup GOPATH and put it into your PATH as described here: https://ahmadawais.com/install-go-lang-on-macos-with-homebrew/

But once that is done the install of this go app or others is can be as simple as:

go get github.com/atsaki/termeter
