Jump is a handy utility that allows you to quickly navigate your command-line interface. To install Jump, you'll need to take the following steps:
To install Jump on Linux Mint, you'll first need to ensure that all the dependencies required by Jump are installed on your system. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y git python3-dev python3-pip python3-setuptools zsh
This command will update your package list and then install the necessary packages to install and run Jump.
Once you have installed the required dependencies, you can download Jump from the GitHub repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/daledavies/jump.git && cd jump && make && sudo make install
This command will clone the Jump repository to your local machine, navigate to the cloned repository, build it, and then install it on your system.
After installing Jump, you'll need to add the following command to your shell's startup file:
eval "$(jump shell)"
If you're using Bash, you can add this command to your ~/.bashrc file. If you're using Zsh, you can add it to your ~/.zshrc file.
After you've configured Jump, you can start using it by typing j followed by the name of the directory you want to navigate to in your terminal. For example, to navigate to your home directory, you can type:
j ~
And that's it! You've successfully installed and configured Jump on your Linux Mint system. Happy navigating!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
