Jump is a command-line tool that enables faster navigation through directories in the terminal. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Jump on POP! OS Latest.
Before we start with the installation, ensure that you have the following prerequisites;
Jump requires Git to be installed on your system. If Git is not already installed on your POP! OS, use the following command to install it.
sudo apt install git
Provide your system password when prompted to do so.
We need to clone the Jump repository from GitHub to our system. To do so, use the following command in your terminal window.
git clone https://github.com/daledavies/jump.git
This command will create a new directory named "jump" containing the Jump tool files.
To use the Jump tool, we need to add it to our system's PATH variable. Therefore, you need to modify the ".bashrc" file by adding the following command at the end of it.
export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/jump/folder"
Note: Replace "/path/to/jump/folder" with the actual path to the jump folder. You can use the "ls" command to list the files present in the current directory and use the "cd" command to access the jump folder.
To apply the changes made in the .bashrc file, you need to reload it. To do so, use the following command.
source ~/.bashrc
The Jump tool is now installed on your system. To double-check whether everything is working fine, use the following command in your terminal.
jump --version
If the installation is successful, you will see the version number of the Jump tool in your terminal.
Jump is a handy tool that can significantly improve your workflow when working with the command line interface. After following this tutorial, you should be able to easily install Jump on your POP! OS.
