** Installation
:PROPERTIES:
:TOC: 0
:END:

1. Put the =restic-runner= script in your =PATH=.
2. Make the directory =~/.config/backup/restic= (or a path of your choosing after changing the =config_dir= default variable in the script).

*** MacOS

On MacOS, you will probably need to install GNU =getopt=, as well as GNU =date= (symlinking it to =date= as needed). You may want to put them earlier in your =PATH= when running =restic-runner=. For example, using Homebrew, you could do this:

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
$ brew install gnu-getopt coreutils
$ ln -s /usr/local/bin/gdate $HOME/.bin/date
$ export PATH="/usr/local/opt/gnu-getopt/bin:$HOME/.bin:$PATH"
#+END_SRC
