##Using the shell scripts You will have to set the PATH variable for all scripts to work anywhere. First, go to the folder containing all the script files in this repository. Then type
mkdir ~/bin
to create a folder called bin in root folder (or user folder, doesn't matter). Then type
cp * ~/bin
to copy all files from current folder to bin. Now to set PATH, first open the .bashrc file using
nano ~/.bashrc
This will open a file containing a lot of codes. Just scroll down to the end of the file and add the following line:
export PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"
and then save changes using ctrl+O and exit using ctrl+X.
Now you can use the scripts everywhere in any path, just like a linux command. Just type the script name with the required arguments.
For example, help for 'run' command can be obtained by typing
run --help or
run -h
##Installing man pages To install the man pages in the Man files directory, go to the Man files directory in this repo folder from your linux terminal (assuming you've downloaded this Repository in zip and extracted it somewhere). Then for each file in the Man files directory, run the mkman script as shown in the mkman script itself.
Eg:- For run.8 file, type:
mkman run.8 man8
and you're done. Now you can type man run anywhere and you'll get the man page for run.
