    -c, --config FILE      Use instead of ~/.config/phetch/phetch.conf

installation

On macOS you can install with Homebrew:

brew install xvxx/code/phetch

Binaries for Linux, Raspberry Pi, and Mac are available at https://github.com/xvxx/phetch/releases:

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/xvxx/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
