## Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Fix |
| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------- |
| 401 Unauthorized | Token expired | `pup auth refresh` |
| 403 Forbidden | Missing scope | Check app key permissions |
| 404 Not Found | Wrong ID/resource | Verify resource exists |
| Rate limited | Too many requests | Add delays between calls |
## Install
```bash
go install github.com/DataDog/pup@latest
```
### Verify Installation
```bash
# Check if pup is in PATH
which pup
# If not found, check if it was installed
ls ~/go/bin/pup
```
### PATH Troubleshooting
If `pup` is installed but `which pup` returns nothing, Go's bin directory isn't in your PATH.
**Check where pup is:**
```bash
ls ~/go/bin/pup # Standard location
ls $GOPATH/bin/pup # If GOPATH is set
ls $GOBIN/pup # If GOBIN is set
```
**Add to PATH (pick your shell):**
For **zsh** (macOS default):
```bash
# Add this line to ~/.zshrc
export PATH="$HOME/go/bin:$PATH"
# Then reload
source ~/.zshrc
```
For **bash**:
```bash
# Add this line to ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile
export PATH="$HOME/go/bin:$PATH"
# Then reload
source ~/.bashrc
```
For **fish**:
```fish
# Add this line to ~/.config/fish/config.fish
fish_add_path $HOME/go/bin
# Or set permanently
set -Ux fish_user_paths $HOME/go/bin $fish_user_paths
# Then reload
source ~/.config/fish/config.fish
```
**Verify:**
```bash
which pup # Should show path
pup --version # Should show version
```
### Alternative: Full Path
If you don't want to modify PATH, use the full path:
```bash
~/go/bin/pup auth login
~/go/bin/pup monitors list
```
Or create an alias:
```bash
alias pup="$HOME/go/bin/pup"
```
