## 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
```

```

For more coins, simply pass a number argument

coin 100 | grep VTC
```
__note__ use "-i" flag on grep for case insensitive search
