## Setup

# Setup
|
||||
|
||||
The steps below will assist the user in setting up rodo
|
||||
|
||||
### GNU/Linux
|
||||
## GNU/Linux and Windows Subsystem for Linux
|
||||
|
||||
1. Setup a $PATH
|
||||
1. Create a directory for your `$PATH` by running `mkdir ~/bin/`
|
||||
2. Associate your `$PATH` with the ~/bin/ folder you created by running `echo "export PATH=~/bin:\$PATH" >> .bashrc`
|
||||
Follow the steps below to set up rodo
|
||||
|
||||
2. Using the binary
|
||||
1. Copy the rodo binary file to your `$PATH` folder by running `cp /path/to/rodo ~/bin/`
|
||||
2. Make the rodo binary file executable by running `chmod u+x ~/bin/rodo`
|
||||
### Setup a $PATH
|
||||
|
||||
3. Creating a wrapper
|
||||
1. Create an empty wrapper file by running `touch ~/bin/rodo`.
|
||||
2. Add the following contents show below to it
|
||||
```
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
||||
racket ~/path/to/rodo.rkt "$@"
|
||||
```
|
||||
For example, if you downloaded the project to your ~/downloads/ folder you would change the line `racket ~/path/to/rodo.rkt "$@"` to `racket ~/downloads/rodo/rodo.rkt "$@"`
|
||||
1. Create a directory for your `$PATH` by running `mkdir ~/bin/`
|
||||
2. Add your newly-created `~/bin/` to your `$PATH` by running `echo "export PATH=~/bin:\$PATH" >> .bashrc`
|
||||
|
||||
3. Save the file
|
||||
4. Make the rodo wrapper file executable by running`chmod u+x ~/bin/rodo`
|
||||
### Adding rodo to your $PATH
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
1. Create a file in your `~/bin/` directory with the following contents in it:
|
||||
|
||||
init - Initializes a file in ~/.rodo/todo-list by default
|
||||
```
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
||||
racket ~/path/to/rodo.rkt "$@"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
ls - Lists items from the list
|
||||
For example, if you downloaded the project to your
|
||||
~/downloads/ folder you would change the line `racket
|
||||
~/path/to/rodo.rkt "$@"` to `racket
|
||||
~/downloads/rodo/rodo.rkt "$@"`.
|
||||
|
||||
add - Adds an entry to the list
|
||||
If you prefer to use an executable, rather than a wrapper,
|
||||
you can create an executable binary file with `raco exe
|
||||
file-name-here.rkt`.
|
||||
|
||||
rm - Removes an item from the list
|
||||
2. Save the file
|
||||
|
||||
3. Make the file executable by running `chmod u+x ~/bin/name-of-your-file`
|
||||
|
||||
# Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Type `rodo` plus one of the options below with a space
|
||||
between `rodo` and the option.
|
||||
|
||||
`init` - Initializes a file in ~/.rodo/todo-list by default
|
||||
|
||||
`ls` - Lists items from the list
|
||||
|
||||
`add` - Adds an entry to the list
|
||||
|
||||
`rm` - Removes an item from the list
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** You may have to run `rodo ls` to see which number corresponds to which item when removing items.
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
## Usage examples
|
||||
|
||||
The examples below assume that you have rodo [set up](https://github.com/m455/rodo#setup-a-path) in your `$PATH`

||||
|
||||
init - `rodo init`
|
||||
`rodo init`
|
||||
|
||||
ls - `rodo ls`
|
||||
`rodo ls`
|
||||
|
||||
add (Single-word entry) - `rodo add bread`
|
||||
`rodo add bread` (Single-word entry)
|
||||
|
||||
add (Multi-word entry) - `rodo add "go to the bank"`
|
||||
`rodo add "go to the bank"` (Multi-word entry)
|
||||
|
||||
