Flow

1. Install the beast itself.

cargo install --locked mds

1. Install external commands used in default config, besides firefox, which is the default browser for opening links, by running install_dependencies.sh wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dj8yfo/mds/master/install_dependencies.sh | bash
2. Create config at $HOME/.config/mds/config.kdl with content.
   • Edit the folder, where you'd like to put notes on your system. (Replace /home/user/notes default value)

3. Check your config got correctly fetched up. mds debug-cfg

   • if you see no command specified message after updating <0.5.0 -> 0.5.0, that most likely means that config needs extra field pipe-$SNIPPET_TEXT-into (see default config).

4. Initialize .sqlite database in your notes folder with mds init

5. Enjoy (fast gif tutorial is here):

   Both explore and surf are equipped with <Ctrl-h> and <Ctrl-l> keybindings to follow backlinks and forward links respectively.

   mds -h
