Motivate

A simple script to print random motivational quotes. Highly influenced by linux command fortune.

Features

• Colored Output
• Supports bash and zsh

Requirements

git
python 3x

Installation

Linux/MacOS

$ git clone https://github.com/mubaris/motivate.git
$ cd motivate/motivate
$ sudo ./install.sh
$ source ~/.bashrc

zsh users should replace .bashrc with .zshrc.

If you have no root priviledge, install in this way:

$ git clone https://github.com/mubaris/motivate.git
$ cd motivate
$ ln -s $PWD/motivate/motivate.py moti
$ ln -s $PWD/dummy.sh mmoti

$ export PATH=$PWD:$PATH
$ # echo 'export PATH=$PWD:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc

Later you can run by calling moti (a single run) or mmoti (keep running until you break it). After doing so, I found that python 2.x is enough to run this script.

Windows

• Make sure you have Python3 on your path.
• Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/mubaris/motivate.git.
• Add the path to your local clone to your system path.
• Run py -3 motivate.py from the command prompt.

Update Database

$ ./UPDATE

Usage

$ motivate
