How to Install Wordgrinder for Mac

Wordgrinder is a terminal-based word processor. Here’s how to get it working on a Mac.

First you’ll need to install Apple’s Command Line Tools. Paste this into a terminal:
xcode-select --install

Then you’ll need to install Homebrew:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/mast…;

Now that you have Homebrew, you’ll need the dependencies:
brew install ninja ncursesw zlib

Then head over to github.com/davidgiven/wordgrinder
and download Wordgrinder. Hit the ‘clone or download’ button, then download the zip.

Unzip the file and return to your terminal.

Change to the source code folder in your downloads directory:
cd ~/Downloads/wordgrinder-master

Now compile it, just type
make

Then to install it type
make install

Then type
cd ~/bin

Then finally:
cp * -R /usr/local/bin

After that just type wordgrinder

Then you should be good to go!
