2) Install acme-dns: `go get github.com/joohoi/acme-dns/...`. This will install acme-dns to `~/go/bin/acme-dns`.
2) Build acme-dns:
```
git clone https://github.com/joohoi/acme-dns
cd acme-dns
export GOPATH=/tmp/acme-dns
go build

3) Move the built acme-dns binary to a directory in your $PATH, for example:
`sudo mv acme-dns /usr/local/bin`
