Dnote is a note-taking application designed for developers. It allows you to save notes on the command line and access them from anywhere. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Dnote on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that your system is up-to-date by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo pacman -Syu

Next, we will install Dnote. To do this, open the terminal and run the following command:

GO111MODULE=on go get -u github.com/dnote/dnote/cli/dnote

This command will install Dnote on your system.

Step 3: Verify the installation

To verify that Dnote has been installed correctly, run the following command:

dnote --version

This command should output the version number of Dnote installed on your system.

Step 4: Start using Dnote

You're now ready to start using Dnote. You can add notes to Dnote by running the following command:

dnote add

This will open your default text editor (e.g. Vim) where you can add your note. Once you're done, save and exit the editor. Your note will now be added to Dnote.

To view your notes, run the following command:

dnote ls

This will display a list of all notes that you have added to Dnote.
