Kanipaan

Kanipaan, the command line calculator

Installation on GNU/Linux / Mac

Have Java installed, then in terminal:

$ cd ~
$ wget https://codeberg.org/kanipaan/kanipaan/releases/download/1.2.1/kanipaan-1.2.1-standalone.jar

This will download the jar file in your home directory.

Now let's create a hidden directory named .kanipaan:

$ mkdir ~/.kanipaan

Let's move this 🫙 to the hidden directory

mv kanipaan-1.2.1-standalone.jar ~/.kanipaan

Let's add an alias in .bashrc or .zshrc for it to be used in a easy way:

Open either .bashrc or .zshrc, add this line:

alias kani='java -jar ~/.kanipaan/kanipaan-1.2.1-standalone.jar'

Let's let's load .bashrc or .zshrc in terminal:

$ source ~/.bashrc

$ source ~/.zshrc

Enjoy 🥳
