Requirements:

To make use of Curo, you need to have:

  1. psql (version 8.3 or later)
  2. bash
  3. dialog

Installation:

  1. Copy curo directory to your home directory as .curo
  2. If your psql is using readline, add to your ~/.inputrc this line: $include ~/.curo/docs/readline.inputrc
  3. If your psql is using libedit, copy ~/.curo/docs/libedit.editrc to your ~/.editrc
  4. If you're unsure which library your psql is using, you can use:
    • ldd $( which psql )
    • or just do both steps - #2 and #3
  5. It's done. F1-F8 keys in psql now give you access to Curo functionality

Curo content:

In ~/.curo/ directory there are following elements:

  1. docs directory - contains readline/libedit configuration files plus some documentation
  2. k directory - contains sql scripts which will be called when you press f1-f8 keys while in psql
  3. s directory - this is where curo sql and shell scripts reside
  4. c directory - common scripts used by action scripts from /s/

Scripts in k/ directory are overwritten by curo itself when you change keybindings in setup screen, so changing them on your own is not good idea. Instead you can add scripts in s/ and then set curo to call your script on some f1-f8 keypress.

Troubleshooting:

While we do test Curo on our own, you might encounter problems that we didn't stumbled upon. In such case - contact [email protected] for help.
