ToolInst
CLI written in Rust to handle installers and programs.
[](https://github.com/YisusGaming/toolinst/actions/workflows/rust_build.yml)
With **ToolInst** you can organize compressed files and installers into one single folder. You can manage this folder with just a few simple commands.
# How to Use
> Make sure that you've already installed ToolInst, [installation here](#installation).
First, you have to create a config file for **ToolInst**. This file should be in your home directory and should be named `.toolinstrc`.
In this file, you have to set `INSTALL` with the path to the folder you want to use to organize all your files.
Something like this:
```
INSTALL=path
```
> Replace `path` with an absolute path to the folder.
In this folder, there should be two folders for compressed files and installers. These are named `.compressed` and `.installer` respectively by default.
If you want to set different names or paths to these folders, you can use these configs:
```
COMPRESSED_DIR_NAME=name_or_path
INSTALLER_DIR_NAME=name_or_path
```
> Replace `name_or_path` with an absolute path to the folder or a name.
It's recommended that you create these folders before using ToolInst, commands may fail if these folders don't exist.
Finally, you can run `toolinst --help` in your terminal to see all commands you can use. Hope it'll be useful!
# Installation
Toolinst is uploaded to `crates.io`.
To install it, you can run the following command in your terminal:
```sh
cargo install toolinst
```
And that's it! You can try running `toolinst --version` in your terminal, if you get a version number then everything should be working fine.
If you want, you can also build from source by cloning this github repository and running this command in the cloned repository:
```sh
cargo build --release
```
This will build ToolInst in release mode. You can add it to your `~/.cargo/bin` by running:
```sh
cargo install --path .
```
That should work. You can try running `toolinst --version` in your terminal, if you get a version number then everything should be working fine.
