   3 A work in progress generic shell. This is a very reduced fork of [taskshell](https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskshell)

   5 ## Installation
   6 Binaries can be downloaded [from here](https://build.bhojwani.org/job/gen-shell/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/build/src/gen-shell). Note that these binaries are compiled against libreadline7, so if your system only has libreadline8, you should symlink 8 to 7 with `sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libreadline.so.8.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libreadline.so.7`. This isn't a great solution, but it gets the job done.

   8 If you would like to avoid this, you can build from source. Doing so requires:
   9   - CMake
  10   - g++
  11   - libreadline development files
  12
  13 ```
  14 git clone https://codeberg.org/armaan/gen-shell
  15 cd gen-shell
  16 cmake --build .
  17 sudo cp src/gen-shell /usr/bin/
  18 ```
  19 Or if you don't have root access, you can subsitute the last line with
  20 `cp src/gen-shell ~/.local/bin`
