In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Journal on macOS. Journal is an open-source command-line interface tool for recording and managing daily activities.
Before proceeding with the installation of Journal, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Homebrew is a package manager that simplifies the installation of software on macOS. To install Homebrew, open the Terminal application and run the following command:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Run the following command in the Terminal application to install Git:
brew install git
Clone the Journal repository from GitHub using Git. Open the Terminal application and navigate to the directory where you want to store the Journal folder.
git clone https://github.com/inoda/journal
After cloning the repository, navigate to the Journal directory using the Terminal application:
cd journal
Now, install Journal by running the following command:
sh install.sh
This command will install Journal and create a symbolic link to the journal.sh file in the /usr/local/bin directory, which will allow you to run Journal from anywhere in the Terminal application.
To verify that Journal has been installed correctly, run the following command in the Terminal application:
journal --help
You should see the Journal command options displayed in the terminal.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Journal on macOS! You can now use Journal to record and manage daily activities from the Terminal application.
