ikpx 2.2

[silversmith]

I can't seem to get it working

What did you try? What errors did you get?

[CARuler]

I just couldn't find the download

[silversmith]

Well have you ever used git?

If you have git then run

Code: Select all

git clone https://gitlab.com/apgoucher/ikpx2.git

in whatever folder you want ikpx2 to be in.

If you don't have git, then try to install it. On Linux it's easy to install git and ikpx2, otherwise the process could get complex.

If you need help, tell us what operating system you have.

alright, done all steps.
now how do I open it?
um... can't seem to find it

Navigate to the ikpx2 folder. It should be made in the location where you ran "git clone". In it there should be a recompile.sh file, a README.md, and several other folders. Run:

Code: Select all

./recompile.sh

This will create the ikpx2 executable, which can be run like this:

Code: Select all

./ikpx2 --velocity c/3

The "--velocity c/3" can be replaced with other options you can use to customize the search. The README.md lists most of the options you can use, and some examples.

now how do I open it?

In summary, ikpx2 isn't a program you install like other applications. Rather you run the executables from within the ikpx2 folder.

Ok, now how do I give it my commands? I typed in ./ikpx2 and it didn't work

Code: Select all

./recompile.sh --rule <RULE>

Code: Select all

./ikpx2 -v <speed>

Type in ./ikpx2 -h for more information.

I meant how do get it to execute commands in git

One executes commands in a command line. Git is one program you can use in a command line, like with:

Code: Select all

git clone https://gitlab.com/apgoucher/ikpx2.git

ikpx2 is another program you can use in a command line like with

Code: Select all

./ikpx2 --velocity c/3

What application are you typing in? What happened when you ran the recompile.sh program?

Code: Select all

./recompile.sh

A window in git opened and closed nothing else happened

Looks like essentially the same point was already answered, in a recent discussion about another CLI software tool:

it doesn't open upon me pressing the open button I can see it flash before it closes

qfind needs to be invoked from the command line, with appropriate parameters that depend on what kind of spaceships you want to find.
Similarly to many other search programs in existence, qfind is a CLI software tool ("command line interface").

That was in the command terminal, not git

In general, to get help on the internet, you need to be willing to share a lot of information. The basics include:

• What did you do?
• What were there results?
• What environment you are working in?

Without this kind of information, nobody will be able to help you with what you are dealing with. I don't even know if you are working on Windows, Linux, MacOS, or something else.

What operating system are you using? If you don't understand the question, what kind of computer are you using?
What is the exact name of the application you are working in?
What folder are you running commands in? If it's "ikpx2", type the command "ls" and check if a file named "ikpx2" is listed.
What errors are you getting? Ideally copy and paste whatever happens after you run a command. For example, if I try to run ikpx2 in the wrong folder, it looks like this.

Code: Select all

[user@computername ~]$ ./ikpx2
bash: ./ikpx2: No such file or directory
[user@computername ~]$

If I run the "ls" command in my ikpx2 folder, it looks like this:

Code: Select all

[user@computername ikpx2]$ ls
