No, "GET" is a file, not a directory (see man GET for what it does).
It'd be more like...
If you have to:
mkdir /usr/local/bin
(But this probably already exists, and doesn't need making.)
Then, either:
cp /usr/bin/GET /usr/local/bin/
(Copy the GET file over to where the script wants it, from where you
already have it.)
Or:
ln -s /usr/bin/GET /usr/local/bin/GET
(Make a link to the real file, from where the script is looking for it.
That saves on duplicate files. Or worse, from having two different
versions of a file, because one got automatically updated, and the other
didn't.)

I don't really know, I don't know how the author's mind works. It'd be
easier if they'd provided a comment saying put the URI to your feed
where I've placed a dummy URI. Or prefaced it with a comment saying
auto-update URI. But I didn't see a hint in any direction. I got a 404
error if I tried that link. Try experiementing with the URI to a feed,
there.
NB: I haven't downloaded and looked at it, I've just perused their
website, as I noticed this thread.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
