Hi,

I have downloaded Go lang 1.7 in my Linux machine and I am trying to build Burrowbeat as per this guide [https://github.com/Goomzee/burrowbeat](https://github.com/Goomzee/burrowbeat)

I have set `${GOPATH}` using the command `export GOPATH=/myfiles/gopath/`

I have downloaded the zip file from [https://github.com/Goomzee/burrowbeat](https://github.com/Goomzee/burrowbeat) and extracted it to `/myfiles/gopath/`. From the directory `/myfiles/gopath/github.com/goomzee/burrowbeat-master`, I triggered the command `make`, which is showing the following error;

```
make update
make[1]: Entering directory `/myfiles/gopath/github.com/goomzee/burrowbeat-master'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `update'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/myfiles/gopath/github.com/goomzee/burrowbeat-master'
make: *** [setup] Error 2

```

Why is this happening and how can I fix this? Thanks.
