how to install a specific version of grpcurl?

Question

I tried to use

go get github.com/fullstorydev/grpcurl@2108c8f
go install github.com/fullstorydev/grpcurl/cmd/grpcurl
export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$PATH

to install grpcurl on my ubuntu box, but after that when I do grpcurl --version I still got

grpcurl dev build

I expect to see

grpcurl 1.16.0

Without using Go, download the executable:

wget https://github.com/fullstorydev/grpcurl/releases/download/v1.7.0/grpcurl_1.7.0_linux_x86_64.tar.gz

tar -xvf grpcurl_1.7.0_linux_x86_64.tar.gz

chmod +x grpcurl

./grpcurl -help

More versions and binaries available from the grpcurl releases page.
