# Motivate
[](https://gitter.im/pymotivate/Lobby?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge)
A simple script to print random motivational quotes. Highly influenced by linux command [fortune](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_(Unix)).
## Features
* Colored Output
* Supports `bash` and `zsh`
## Requirements
```
git
python 3x
```
## Installation
### Linux/MacOS
```
$ git clone https://github.com/mubaris/motivate.git
$ cd motivate/motivate
$ sudo ./install.sh
$ source ~/.bashrc
```
zsh users should replace `.bashrc` with `.zshrc`.
If you have no root priviledge, install in this way:
```
$ git clone https://github.com/mubaris/motivate.git
$ cd motivate
$ ln -s $PWD/motivate/motivate.py moti
$ ln -s $PWD/dummy.sh mmoti
$ export PATH=$PWD:$PATH
$ # echo 'export PATH=$PWD:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
```
Later you can run by calling `moti` (a single run) or `mmoti` (keep running until you break it).
After doing so, I found that python 2.x is enough to run this script.
### Windows
* Make sure you have Python3 on your path.
* Clone the repository `git clone https://github.com/mubaris/motivate.git`.
* Add the path to your local clone to your system path.
* Run `py -3 motivate.py` from the command prompt.
## Update Database
```
$ git clone https://github.com/mubaris/motivate.git
$ cd motivate
$ ./UPDATE
```
## Usage
```
$ motivate

```
## Contribution
The most popular way to contribute is adding [new quotes](https://github.com/mubaris/motivate/issues/3). You do it by adding next JSON file in `motivate/data/` directory. The rule is 20 quotes per file.
Before you submit your new JSON file, it is helpful to validate your file at this [website](https://jsonlint.com/) to make sure it is formatly correct.
But any improvements are welcome - just open a pull request with some description.
