Support for other Unix-like operating systems such as MacOS and the various BSDs is likely, although untested. Windows support may be possible with [windows-curses](https://pypi.org/project/windows-curses/) or the like, however much of the program makes the assumption that there is a Unix-like file hierarchy, which may break on Windows. Nontrivial patches will not be accepted to improve Windows support, although may be for MacOS or BSD. + +Lightcards requires Python 3.9 + ### From PyPI -`pip install lightcards` +``` +pip install lightcards +``` ### From Git +#### Main branch (stable) ``` -git clone https://git.sr.ht/~armaan/lightcards -cd lightcards -git checkout $(git tag | tail -n 1) # Don't include to use development version -`pip install .` +pip install git+https://git.sr.ht/~armaan/lightcards +``` + +#### Development branch +``` +pip install git+https://git.sr.ht/~armaan/lightcards@devel ``` ## Usage -see `lightcards --help` +See `lightcards --help` or `man lightcards` for usage information. ## Input file -See `contrib/example.md` for an example input file +`contrib/example.md` is an example input file.
