## Setup
### GNU/Linux
#### Setup a $PATH
1. Create a directory for your **$PATH** by running `mkdir ~/bin/`
2. Associate your **$PATH** with the **~/bin/** folder you created by running `echo "export PATH=~/bin:\$PATH" >> .bashrc`
#### Using the binary
1. Copy the **rodo** binary file to your **$PATH** folder by running `cp /path/to/rodo ~/bin/`
2. Make sure the **rodo** binary file is executable by running `chmod u+x ~/bin/rodo`
#### Creating a wrapper
1. Create an empty wrapper file by running `touch ~/bin/rodo` and then add the following contents to it and save:
```
#!/usr/bin/env bash
racket ~/path/to/rodo.rkt "$@"
```
**Example**: if you downloaded the project to your **~/downloads/** folder you would change the line **racket ~/path/to/rodo.rkt "$@"** to **racket ~/downloads/rodo/rodo.rkt "$@"**
2. Make the **rodo** wrapper file executable by running`chmod u+x ~/bin/rodo`

init - `rodo init`
ls - `rodo ls`
add (Single-word entry) - `rodo add bread`
add (Multi-word entry) - `rodo add "go to the bank"`
rm - `rodo rm 1`
