Getting started
wiki-tui is a simple and easy-to-use Wikipedia text user interface written in rust. The package already is in a few package repositories with more coming but you can also compile it from source if you want.
Installation
After installing wiki-tui with your preferred method you can start it with wiki-tui.
Nix
You can find the package in the nixpkgs repository. Either install it with
nix-env -iA wiki-tui
Get it temporarily to try it out
nix-shell -p wiki-tui
Or add it to your configuration.

As root, run
xbps-install -S wiki-tui
with the main repos installed. Works on glibc and musl installations.

Cargo
If wiki-tui cannot be installed with your package manager, you can also install it with cargo. There are no extra dependencies (except rust of course).
cargo install wiki-tui
If you want, you can also use the latest development version from GitHub (can be unstable)
cargo install --git https://github.com/builditluc/wiki-tui

git clone git@github.com:Builditluc/wiki-tui.git
gh repo clone Builditluc/wiki-tui
