Installation

Build from sources

if you want to build from sources, clone or download this repository.
navigate to the folder you cloned it to and run:

  ./gradlew assemble

this will build the app, generate the start scripts and create the distributable.
you can find the .zip and .tar.gz in the build/distributions folder (isn't gradle amazing).
extract these (if you don't know how google is your friend) and run install.sh

Usage

the installation script automatically adds the start up script to the list of aliases, you can use

  addalias <name> <path> [--dry_run (-d)] [--help (-h)] [--target-file (-f) <file>] [--verbose (-v)]
