Getting started

1. Install the recorder

<%= render partial: "docs/quick_install" %>

2. Record

To start recording run the following command:

asciinema rec

This spawns a new shell instance and records all terminal output. When you're ready to finish simply exit the shell either by typing exit or hitting Ctrl-D.

See usage instructions to learn about all commands and options.

3. Create your profile (optional)

If you want your recordings to be assigned to your asciinema profile run the following command:

asciinema auth

If you skip this step now, you can run the above command later and all previously recorded asciicasts will automatically get assigned to your profile.

NOTE: To be able to edit/delete your recordings you have to assign them to your profile.
