🚀 Getting Started

This is an example of how you may give instructions on setting up your project locally. To get a local copy up and running follow these simple example steps.

🛠️ Prerequisites

1. Install rust: https://www.rust-lang.org/
2. Install dnote: https://github.com/dnote/dnote#installation

📥 Installing

Direct download

You can download the tar.xz file matching your operating system from the releases page, extract it and execute the dnote-tui binary.

Cargo

cargo install dnote-tui

If you wish to install from the main branch directly, use

cargo install --git https://github.com/deepanchal/dnote-tui

Once it's installed, simply run

dnote-tui

I will offer additional installation methods once the project reaches a more stable state.

🏃 Running project locally

1. Clone the repo.

git clone https://github.com/deepanchal/dnote-tui.git

2. cd into repo.

cd dnote-tui

3. Run tui

cargo run

🐳 Try with Docker

Get started with dnote-tui quickly using Docker! This setup comes with pre-loaded test data so you can dive right into exploring the TUI features.

1. Clone the repository and navigate to the project directory

git clone https://github.com/deepanchal/dnote-tui.git
cd dnote-tui

2. To build the Docker image and run the dnote-tui container using Docker Compose, execute the following command:

docker compose run --rm dnote-tui

Or if you prefer to use Docker directly without Docker Compose, you can follow these steps:

# Build the docker image
docker build --build-arg RUST_VERSION=1.76.0 --build-arg DNOTE_VERSION=0.15.1 -t dnote-tui .
# Run the docker container
docker run --rm -it dnote-tui
