Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Ruby 2.4+ (It probably works on older Rubies, but is untested prior to 2.4.1.)
• Optional: if fzf is available, it will be used for handling multiple choice selections
• Optional: if bat is available it will page with that
• Optional: mdless or mdcat for formatting output

Installing

You can install howzit by running:

gem install howzit

If you want to install into the system Ruby, you'll probably need to use --user-install:

gem install --user-install howzit

If you run into permission errors using the above command, you'll need to either use sudo (sudo gem install howzit) or if you're using Homebrew, you have the option to install via brew-gem:

brew install brew-gem
brew gem install howzit

Updating

You can update to the latest release using gem update howzit (or brew gem update howzit).
