Setup
Follow the sections below to set up rodo, so it can be used from anywhere on
your system.
Tip: If you just want to test rodo out, then just cd into the directory you downloaded
rodo into, and then run ./rodo.rkt.
GNU/Linux
Follow the sections below to add rodo to your $PATH, if you are using
GNU/Linux.
Set up a $PATH
Follow the steps below if you haven't set up a $PATH.
Tip: If you have set up a $PATH already, then skip to the next step, Adding
rodo to your $PATH.
- Create a directory for your
$PATHby runningmkdir ~/bin/ - Add your newly-created
~/bin/to your$PATHby runningecho "export PATH=~/bin:\$PATH" >> .bashrc
Adding rodo to your $PATH
Follow the steps below to add the rodo.rkt file to your $PATH.
Tip: If you prefer to use an executable, rather than a wrapper (see the note after step one below to see what a "wrapper" is), you can create an
executable binary file with raco exe rodo.rkt when in the same folder as the
rodo.rkt file. If you are having trouble with the raco exe command, refer to Racket's
documentation regarding the creation of standalone executables.
- Create a file in your
~/bin/directory with the following contents in it:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
racket ~/path/to/rodo.rkt "$@"
Note: The file created above is called a "wrapper". This is a script that
runs the rodo.rkt file through the Racket interpreter. If you wish to
directly run rodo as an executable from your $PATH, see the tip above
For example: If you downloaded the project to your ~/downloads/ folder you would change the line
racket ~/path/to/rodo.rkt "$@" to racket ~/downloads/rodo/rodo.rkt "$@".
-
Save the file
-
Make the file executable by running
chmod u+x ~/bin/name-of-your-file

between rodo and the command.

Note: The directory and filename can be changed by modifying the config.rkt file
ls - Displays items from the todo list in a vertical format
add - Adds an entry to the todo list

Configuring rodo
Caution: Change the config.rkt file at your own risk, as it may break things!
Right now, the configurations can be found in the config.rkt file. Settings,
such as the program name, directory, and the filename of the todo list file can
be changed.
