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 runningchmod u+x ~/bin/rodo
