Installation

If you install it, the script will be placed to your home directory and an entry to your .bashrc. So that you can access it from anywhere in your system, just by running amate!

To install, simply run,

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SharafatKarim/archmate/main/install.bash > installer.bash && bash installer.bash && rm installer.bash

While installation, you can both install it into your system (pacman pacakge) or, your user (~/). If you later want to uninstall from your system, you can do it with,

sudo pacman -R archmate

Run Locally

Clone the project

  git clone https://github.com/SharafatKarim/archmate

Go to the project directory

  cd archmate

Make sure python is installed. For most systems it comes out of the box.

python-pip or any third party modules not required! We also love as minimal as possible!

Then execute with,

  python amate.py

If you want to install on your system, try,

makepkg -si --clean

--clean flag will get rid of unnecessary files.

Troubleshooting

Both .bashrc and .zshrc exists?

If you're using both bash and zsh then, while Installation it'll ask you to set one (bash or zsh). You can set bash to import the alias in bashrc and later in the .zshrc you can source your .bashrc from your .zshcrc in this way,

source ~/.bashrc

or vice versa!
