Description
The installation instructions at https://go.mozilla.org/sops states that SOPS installation should be performed using:
go get -u go.mozilla.org/sops/cmd/sops
The go get command has been deprecated for installing binaries (and can lead to dependency issues) so the correct installation command is now:
go install go.mozilla.org/sops/v3/cmd/sops@latest
or for a specific version:
go install go.mozilla.org/sops/v3/cmd/sops@v3.7.2
As an aside, it would be nice to reference this installation method in the README - for those of us with Go already installed, it's simpler than downloading the binary, creating sym-links and setting executable flags.

Research direction
Start by checking the installation instructions at https://go.mozilla.org/sops and the repository README. Update the documented Go installation command to use the versioned go install form, including the specific-version example, and add the method to the README if appropriate. Done means the published instructions no longer recommend go get for installing SOPS.
