## Installation

First install jq which is a command line json parser [__here__](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/download/)

After you have installed jq, run the following commmand in your terminal:

```

curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dillionverma/crypto-cli/master/coin" -o /usr/local/bin/coin && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/coin

```

## Usage

The top 10 cryptocurrencies are shown by default by entering

```

coin

```

For more coins, simply pass a number argument

```

coin 100

```

To get a specific price, simply use grep

```

coin 100 | grep VTC

```

__note__ use "-i" flag on grep for case insensitive search
