The default REPL\n  - A non-interactive expression mode, which executes anything passed as command line arguments\n\nFor the list of supported units, see [here](https://frinklang.org/frinkdata/units.txt)\n\nThis was converted to modern `bash` and made configurable from the ['starter script'](https://frinklang.org/frinkjar/frink)\n\n## Install\n\nRequires: `java`, `rlwrap`, `wget`\n\nCopy the `frinkconv` script onto your `$PATH` and make it executable\n\nCould use [`basher`](https://github.com/basherpm/basher) to do that for you:\n\n```bash\nbasher install purarue/frinkconv\n```\n\n## Examples\n\nInteractive mode:\n\n```\n$ frinkconv\nDropping into repl...\nFrink -
