Unable to install kubetest2

[liu-cong]

I tried to install kubetest2 following the README.md. And I ran into issues with github.com/containers/image/v5/manifest

GO111MODULE=on go get sigs.k8s.io/kubetest2/...@latest

You might be most likely running it from a working directory which is another project using go modules.

Unfortunately, for go versions < 1.16 installing a binary through go get also tries to update the modules of the project you are in. golang/go#30515

Try running the same command from outside a project cd $HOME (maybe?).

If you are on go1.16+ you can use install instead of get https://golang.org/doc/go1.16#go-command
GO111MODULE=on go install sigs.k8s.io/kubetest2/...@latest

This would be a good addition to the README.

/kind documentation

Thanks @amwat ! Your suggestion worked!

I think it's OK to leave the readme, this go quirk is not specific to this project, and can cause issues in any project with go get, but I've never seen this in a readme.

original issue is resolved now.
