## Installation

>Requires Python 3.0 or higher.

Rebound works on MacOS, Linux, and Windows (if you use Cygwin). You can install it with pip:

`$ pip install rebound-cli`

or apt-get if you're using Linux:

`$ sudo apt-get install rebound-cli`

## Usage

Running a file with `rebound` is just as easy as running it normally:

`$ rebound [file_path]`

This will execute the file, pull the error message, and let you browse related Stack Overflow questions and answers without leaving the terminal.

__Supported file types:__ Python, Node.js, Ruby, Golang, and Java.

__Pending Features:__

* Improved text formatting (i.e. for duplicate questions, markdown, blockquotes, clickable links, etc.)

* Improved search result accuracy by extracting potential search terms from the stack trace

* Support for more languages

## How it Works

Rebound is written in Python and built on Urwid. Beautiful Soup is used to scrape Stack Overflow content and subprocess for catching compiler errors.
