Fireback comes with MSI intallers for Windows, Packages for mac, and Debian packages for ubuntu. Installers will register the binary in the PATH and are recommended way to install:
Installers are not signed at this moment, you might need to allow installing from unknown sources, or install it using go install which is explained later in this document.

https://github.com/torabian/fireback/releases/latest/download/fireback-amd64.deb https://github.com/torabian/fireback/releases/latest/download/fireback-arm64.debUsing 'go install'
You can install fireback using go install github.com/torabian/fireback/cmd/fireback@latest
This would install it from source, and should be available in go/bin folder.
Sometimes, your go/bin folder is not in your path, you need to add it. (Also check the next section)
You might need to add the go/bin to your path, for example mac or linux:
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/go/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc
If your system is reporting that the fireback command is missing, make sure you have followed the Go installation guide correctly. Normally, it means that the go/bin directory in your User's home directory is not in the PATH environment variable. You will also normally need to close and reopen any open command prompts so that changes to the environment made by the installer are reflected at the command prompt.
