So, if you haven't already downloaded it, kindly download it from [here](https://www.python.org/downloads/).\n\n- Download the package from PyPI via `pip` (or `pip3`) using :   \n  `pip3 install ghnotifier`  \n   Use `sudo` if need be.\n   \n- Run `ghnotifier` command in a terminal to set up your credentials and get your notifications.\n\n#### Adding to `crontab`\n\nIn order to make the most out of the app, I would suggest you to add it to your `crontab`. If you aren't comfortable with the process of adding a command to the `crontab`, then continue reading.   \n\n  \n  `# Adding the ghnotifier to crontab`   \n  `$ crontab -e`  \n \n  `# In order to run the command every minute(the setting I use), add the following line to your crontab.`  \n  `* * * * * ghnotifier`\n  \n\n**Note (For MacOSX users)**: Apart from the above steps, I recommend you to download [`terminal-notifier`](https://github.com/julienXX/terminal-notifier) from @julienXX.\n\n#####  Troubleshooting `crontab`:\nI faced a few issues while adding the command to my crontabs on both Ubuntu 16.04 and MacOSX Sierra.\nHence, I thought of sharing a few hacks for helping you:\n\n For MacOSX:\n - In-place editing with vim: http://stackoverflow.com/q/15395479/4927751\n - Exporting to your favourite Text editor: `EDITOR=your_editor crontab -e`  \n\n\n For Ubuntu:\n - Common issues with installing crontab : http://askubuntu.com/q/23009/434885\n - Example script for inspiration : https://github.com/kshitij10496/gh-notifier/blob/master/cronscript.sh\n \n If you face any issue with the installation, feel free to reach out to me.\n \n### Contributing\n------------------\nPlease feel free to report any discrepancy/suggestions on the [Issues Tracker]().\nIf you have any feature requests, comment on this [thread](). I will try to implement them.\nMore so, feel free to open a Pull Request.\n\n### LICENSE : [MIT](https://github.com/kshitij10496/gh-notifier/blob/master/LICENSE)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkshitij10496%2Fgh-notifier","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fkshitij10496%2Fgh-notifier","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkshitij10496%2Fgh-notifier/lists"}
