# fortune

`fortune` is a program that displays a pseudorandom message from a database of quotations that first appeared in Version 7 Unix.[1][irrelevant citation] The most common version on modern systems is the BSD fortune, originally written by Ken Arnold.[2] Distributions of fortune are usually bundled with a collection of themed files, containing sayings like those found on fortune cookies (hence the name), quotations from famous people, jokes, or poetry.

You can install fortune with:

```shell

wapm install -g fortune

```

## Running

```bash

$ fortune

Opportunity knocks, but doesn't always answer to its name.

    -- Mason Cooley

```

Print help

```shell

$ fortune -h

available commands:

	-h                        this screen right here.

	-o     output short,medium or long quotes only.

```

## Building from Source

First, you will need the WASI target installed in your Rust system:

```shell

rustup target add wasm32-wasi

```

Once WASI is available, you can build the WebAssembly binary by yourself with:

```shell

cargo build --release --target wasm32-wasi

```

This will create a new file located at `target/wasm32-wasi/release/fortune.wasm`.

When the wasm file is created you can upload it to wapm or execute it with wasmer:

```shell

wapm publish

# OR

wasmer run target/wasm32-wasi/release/fortune.wasm

```

You can also build a native executable with

```shell

cargo build

```
