This project provides a simple terminal user interface to the fate editor.

First clone the project, including submodules, in a folder of your choice.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Chiel92/tfate

To update your clone of tfate to the latest version, run

git pull && git submodule update --init --recursive

There are several options that enable you to start fate from commandline with the command fate.

###Ubuntu

• Add an alias to your .bashrc, like alias fate="python3 /path/to/tfate/main.py".
• Create a shell script, e.g. name fate, which just contains the call python3 /path/to/tfate/main.py and make sure its folder is in your PATH.

###Windows Add a startup script to a folder which is in your PATH. Let's assume that C:\bin is in your path. To be able to start fate from a DOS-like prompt, add a file named fate.bat to C:\bin with contents similar to

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Python 3.5\python.exe" C:\path\to\tfate\main.py %*

To be able to start fate from a UNIX-like prompt, such as CYGWIN, add a file named fate to C:\bin with contents similar to

"C:/Program Files (x86)/Python 3.5/python.exe" /c/path/to/tfate/main.py $@

In the latter case you could of course also decide to define an alias.
