Once you've launched phetch, use `ctrl-h` to view the on-line help.
## installation
On macOS you can install with [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/):
brew install dvkt/code/phetch
Binaries for Linux, Raspberry Pi, and Mac are available at
https://github.com/dvkt/phetch/releases:
- [phetch-v0.1.12-linux-x86_64.tgz][0]
- [phetch-v0.1.12-linux-armv7.tgz (Raspberry Pi)][1]
- [phetch-v0.1.12-macos.zip][2]
Just unzip/untar the `phetch` program into your $PATH and get going!
You can also build and install from source:
git clone https://github.com/dvkt/phetch
cd phetch
env PREFIX=/usr/local make install
## updates
To check for new versions of `phetch`, use the on-line help system in
the app (`ctrl-h`) or visit:
gopher://phkt.io/1/phetch/latest
## development
cargo run -- <gopher-url>
*Pro-tip:* Run a local gopher server on `127.0.0.1:7070` and start
phetch with `-l` or `--local` to quickly connect to it.
To build with TLS support on **Linux**, you need `openssl` and
`pkg-config`:
sudo apt install -y pkg-config libssl-dev
To build without TLS support, build with the `disable-tls` feature:
cargo build --features disable-tls
You can check whether TLS is enabled by visiting the About page:
cargo run --features disable-tls -- gopher://phetch/about
