Just a comment.
Do not understand why this happened. No word of it on the installation page and yet i ran into this issue. Shoudnt the installation of wails CLI be clear and put files in the right place. Seems stupid to have to install it and suffer figuring out what is going on after following 'clear' instructions that leave you with an error one not as crazy as me would have to fix with no idea of what is going on.
Like i said i do not know if i am the first but it was infuriating restarting my terminal and nothing working for a while.
Like i said this seems stupid to me but then maybe am just cursed coz i do not know if am the only one to have to deal with this.
