# Downloading rodo
|
|
|
|
rodo's source code exists in a public git repository. This makes
|
|
accessing the code convenient, because you don't need to sign in or
|
|
register for an account to download it.
|
|
|
|
## Downloading rodo using git
|
|
|
|
You can use tools such as `git` to download rodo's source code. You
|
|
will need the source code to install rodo.

|
|
### To download rodo using git
|
|
|
|
1. Run `git clone https://github.com/m455/rodo`
|
|
|
|
**Note**: This will create a `rodo` directory in your current directory.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
**Note**: These numbers are useful references for when you want to remove items from your list. For

more information, see the [Removing an Item from Your List](#removing-an-item-from-your-list) topic.

|
|
**Note**: The double quotation marks are optional, but recommended

|
## Removing an item from your list
|
|
|
|
When removing an item from your list, you can reference the numbers beside each
|
|
item when [Displaying Your List](#displaying-your-list). You can use these

|
numbers when removing an item from your list.

|
|
|
### To remove an item from your list

|
|
|
1. Run `rodo rm 1`
|
|
|
|
**Note 1**: The "1" in the procedure above will remove the first item in your
|
|
list.
|
|
|
|
**Note 2**: You may need to run `rodo ls` first to see which numbers correspond
|
|
with which item in your list.
|
|
|
|
## Configuring rodo
