Bashlib

This repository contains a suite of functionality to facilitate use and development for Solid

Requirements

• Node >= 16.0.0

Setup

Using github

git clone git@github.com:SolidLabResearch/Bashlib.git
cd Bashlib
npm install 
npm run build

After the install, add an alias to your .bashrc for convenience:

alias sld="node /path/to/folder/.../bin/solid.js"

Using NPX

npx solid-bashlib

This will automatically install any dependencies. You can add an alias to your .bashrc for convenience:

alias sld="npx solid-bashlib"

Note that while more straightforward, using NPX incurs a performance penalty of up to 1 second! Consider a github install if you plan to use this tool regularly!
