Installing and Updating

To install or update mdlm, you should run the install script. To do that, you may either download and run the script manually, or use the following cURL for Bash:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/markdown-localization/mdlm-sh/v0.0.20/install.sh | bash

Or zsh:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/markdown-localization/mdlm-sh/v0.0.20/install.sh | zsh

Running either of the above commands downloads a script and runs it. The script copies mdlm script to ~/.mdlm, and attempts to add the source lines from the snippet below to the correct profile file (~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc).

export MDLM_DIR="$HOME/.mdlm"
alias mdlm='$MDLM_DIR/mdlm.sh'
