###### Recording of v1.0.0
|
|
|
|
Amfora aims to be the best looking [Gemini](https://gemini.circumlunar.space/) client with the most features... all in the terminal. It does not support Gopher or other non-Web protocols - check out [Bombadillo](http://bombadillo.colorfield.space/) for that.
|
|
|
|
It also aims to be completely cross platform, with full Windows support. If you're on Windows, I would not recommend using the default terminal software. Maybe use [Cmder](https://cmder.net/) instead. Note that some of the application colors will not display correctly on most Windows terminals, but all functionality will still work.
|
|
|
|
It fully passes Sean Conman's client torture test, including the new Unicode tests. It mostly passes the Egsam test.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Download a binary from the [releases](https://github.com/makeworld-the-better-one/amfora/releases) page. On Unix-based systems you might have to make the file executable with `chmod +x <filename>`. You should also move the binary to `/usr/local/bin`.
|
|
|
|
On Windows, make sure you click "Advanced > Run anyway" after double-clicking, or something like that.
|
|
|
|
Unix systems can install the desktop entry file to get Amfora to appear when they search for applications:
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/makeworld-the-better-one/amfora/master/amfora.desktop -o ~/.local/share/applications/amfora.desktop
|
|
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Just call `amfora` or `amfora <url>` on the terminal. On Windows it might be `amfora.exe` instead.
|
|
|
|
To determine the version, you can run `amfora --version` or `amfora -v`.
|
|
|
|
The project keeps many standard terminal keybindings and is intuitive. Press <kbd>?</kbd> inside the application to pull up the help menu with a list of all the keybindings, and <kbd>Esc</kbd> to leave it. If you have used Bombadillo you will find it similar.
|
|
|
|
It is designed with large or fullscreen terminals in mind. For optimal usage, make your terminal fullscreen. It was also designed with a dark background terminal in mind, but please file an issue if the colour choices look bad on your terminal setup. It was tested with left-to-right languages, and will likely not work as well with right-to-left languages like Arabic.

## Configuration
|
|
The config file is written in the intuitive [TOML](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml) file format. See [default-config.toml](./default-config.toml) for details. By default this file is available at `~/.config/amfora/config.toml`, or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/amfora/config.toml`, if that variable is set.
|
|
|
|
On Windows, the file is in `%APPDATA%\amfora\config.toml`, which usually expands to `C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\amfora\config.toml`.
|
|
