crate-installs-notifier

A little program which shows you the amount of downloads of you crate. Only works on MacOS.

Setup

Firstly, run it once with the release flag (this makes sure the config file is generated):

cargo run --release

After this has completed you'll notice nothing has happened, but if you look at ~/.config/crate-installs-notifier/config.yaml you can configure the program. Add an entry to the YAML array with the attributes name: string and downloads: int. If you run it again it'll show you a notification and update the downloads attribute.

Now you should customize the plist file in the repo to your liking (make sure you set the path to your release binary) (refer to this page) for more information on how to customize the config.

When you're done customizing, copy the plist file to ~/Library/LaunchAgents, then load the plist file:

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.voider1.crate-installs-notifier.plist

The program will run once to show you it has succesfully loaded and then it will run it each time you've configured it to run.
