I'm looking for some guidance on how to execute commands in the terminal correctly. I have an installation guide that's suggesting commands to download something from GitHub. Here are the commands listed:
```
$ go install github.com/foxboron/sbctl/cmd/sbctl@latest
$ $(go env GOPATH)/bin/sbctl
$ git clone https://github.com/foxboron/sbctl.git
$ cd sbctl
$ make
$ ./sbctl
```
Could someone explain how I should write these in the terminal? Do I need to enter them all at once or one after another?

If you're encountering errors like 'command not found', you might need to install `go` first. You can do that with:
```
sudo apt install golang-go
```
Make sure to check your distribution if this doesn’t work!
You'll want to run these commands one at a time, starting from the top to the bottom. Each command is independent, so just copy everything from the dollar sign to the end of the line, but skip the dollar sign when you input it. It's just there to indicate that it's a command you should run as a regular user.
Just follow the instructions line by line, but leave out the `$` at the beginning. It's only there to show that you're running the command as a user, not part of the command itself. Also, watch out for `#`, which indicates commands that require root access.
I must say, if you're new to the terminal, it might not be the best idea to install things from GitHub yet. It could lead to complications, especially with secure boot key managers. What issue are you trying to resolve here?
