Updating golang.org/x/tools

[Tong Sun]

Hi, 

My present from golang.org/x/tools is too old to be functioning properly:

$ present

2020/02/16 18:13:07 Failed to parse templates: template: slides.tmpl:65: function "pagenum" not defined

So I did `go get -v -u golang.org/x/tools`. However, my present is not updated and still giving me above error. 

(`type present` shows it is at $GOPATH/bin/present).

Wouldn't `go get` will install those binaries automatically? Or, how can I do that? (I had to build & cp manually to make my present working)

Here is full log of my `go get`:

$ go get -v -u golang.org/x/tools

I'm no expert on it. However I'd try `GO111MODULE=on go install ...` outside a Go module. Anyway ensure you run `GO111MODULE=on go get  ...` outside a Go module to get packages to go to your gopath.
