Installation

Published Builds

Published Builds will be located to the https://download.mooc.fi. Builds are published for the some different operating systems (Windows, MacOS, Linux).

Using Flatpak

    flatpak install flathub fi.mooc.tmc.tmc-cli-rust

Create alias after installation for ease of use with:

    echo "alias tmc=\"flatpak run fi.mooc.tmc.tmc-cli-rust\"" >> ~/.bashrc

After restarting the terminal, this should work:

    tmc --help

Using the install script (Linux/OS X)

cd into the directory where you want to download tmc-cli-rust and run the following command:

64 bit Linux:

    curl -0 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rage/tmc-cli-rust/main/scripts/install.sh | bash -s x86_64 linux

32 bit Linux:

    curl -0 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rage/tmc-cli-rust/main/scripts/install.sh | bash -s i686 linux

64 bit MacOS:

    curl -0 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rage/tmc-cli-rust/main/scripts/install.sh | bash -s x86_64 mac

32 bit MacOS:

    curl -0 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rage/tmc-cli-rust/main/scripts/install.sh | bash -s i686 mac

Using the Windows installer

The Windows installer can be found in the releases. In most cases you will want the 64 bit version, tmc-cli-rust-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc-v1.1.2.msi. When a 32 bit version is required, tmc-cli-rust-i686-pc-windows-msvc-v1.1.2.msi is also available. After installation, the application updates automatically.

Manual installation, additional steps

If using the installers is not an option for you, you can build the source code by yourself, or download the latest published build.

For Linux:

After downloading the executable, navigate to the directory it's located in and make it an executable with the command

    chmod u+x ./<executable name>

To use the software from any directory, you can add it to your environmental variables with the following command (substituting for the location where the executable resides at and for the executable name.)

    echo "alias tmc='<directory>/<executable name>'" >> "$HOME/.bashrc"

For macOS

The instructions for Linux should work on macOS as well. This has not been tested yet, though, so your mileage may vary.

For Windows:

After downloading the executable you can start using it from the command line by navigating to the directory it resides at.

To be able to use it from any directory, you can add it to your environmental variables with the following command. (substituting for the directory where the executable resides at)

    set PATH=%PATH%;<directory>

Tab-completion from commandline

You can generate shell completion scripts by running tmc generate-completions --[bash/zsh/powershell] > /path/to/your/completions/directory/filename. For bash, filename should be tmc.bash. For zsh, _tmc. This has not yet been tested for Powershell, but the script should work if placed in the appropriate directory.

Make sure to have the appropriate software configuration for completions to work. For Zsh and Powershell, completions should be supported by default, but for Bash you may need to install bash-completion or similar packages and follow their documentation.
