Hi, I'm having issues installing this plugin with IPTB to do some IPFS testing.
First off, it doesn't mention that a pre-requisite to install the plugin is having gx or gx-go installed, since those are used in the Makefile.
Second, I had issues with dependencies when installing both gx and iptb, though mostly gx because there is no version pinning and urfave/cli 2.x was installed which had breaking changes to the API so I had to initialize go modules in the gx repo to get the correct version, but that is just a side note.
Now when I successfully installed those pre-requisites running make install still fails because there is no gx project initialized. Here I realize that the installation process should probably look a bit different since it's using gx but that is certainly not clear when looking at the installation instructions from this repo and iptb repo.
I guess I'm missing some fundamental knowledge here to grasp how these packages are supposed to work together so the answer to how to get this plugin to work with an installation of iptb might seem trivial to someone who is familiar with the echo system, but to an outsider which just follows the installation instructions it doesn't work.
I look forward to be able to do some IPFS testing with IPTB and hope that there is just some small piece of information missing which connects the dots. Sorry if my post is a bit ranty, I do appreciate the work you put in and I think IPFS is really neat, it just get's frustrating when following the instructions doesn't work.
