# File::HomeDir
[](https://github.com/azawawi/raku-file-homedir/actions)
This is a Raku port of [File::HomeDir](https://metacpan.org/pod/File::HomeDir).
File::HomeDir is a module for locating the directories that are "owned" by a
user (typically your user) and to solve the various issues that arise trying to
find them consistently across a wide variety of platforms.
The end result is a single API that can find your resources on any platform,
making it relatively trivial to create Perl software that works elegantly and
correctly no matter where you run it.
## Example
```Raku
use v6;
use File::HomeDir;
say File::HomeDir.my-home;
say File::HomeDir.my-desktop;
say File::HomeDir.my-documents;
say File::HomeDir.my-pictures;
say File::HomeDir.my-videos;
```
## Installation
To install it using zef (a module management tool bundled with Rakudo Star):
```
zef install File::HomeDir
```
## Testing
- To run tests:
```
$ prove --ext .rakutest -ve "raku -I."
```
- To run all tests including author tests (Please make sure
[Test::Meta](https://github.com/jonathanstowe/Test-META) is installed):
```
$ zef install Test::META
$ TEST_AUTHOR=1 prove --ext .rakutest -ve "raku -I."
```
