go: modules disabled by GO111MODULE=off; see 'go help modules'

Hey Boot.Dev,

When following step 2 upon installing the boot.dev CLI on my Macbook i ran into the following error when running the go install command:

go install github.com/bootdotdev/bootdev@latest
go: modules disabled by GO111MODULE=off; see 'go help modules

Upon running the go env GO111MODULE command I found out it was disabled. I then ran export GO111MODULE=on and reran the command to install. And it solved the problem. This most likely has to do with the fact that I was in $HOME and not in something like /user/local/bin . Still it might throw some people off, perhaps it is good to add something about this to the "Optional troubleshooting:" part of the REAMDE

Thanks,

Benoit
