The Pocket Monster Index, now in your terminal!
The simpliest method of install is with the command runner just; Simply:
$> git clone https://github.com/calacuda/pokedex-cli.git
$> cd pokedex-cli
$> just install
However, if you don't have just installed; run:
$> git clone https://github.com/calacuda/pokedex-cli.git
$> cd pokedex-cli/
$> pip install -e .
$> mkdir -p ~/.cache/pokedex/resources/
$> cp -ur /tmp/pokedex-cli/pokedex/resources/* ~/.cache/pokedex/resources/
NOTE: you might need to add --break-system-packages to the above pip command (if your linux distribution's version of python requires it).
For the best output quality, please adjust the vertical line spacing in your terminal emulator until the block characters connect.
