## Installation

If you already know how to install python packages, then you can install it via pip:

You might need sudo on linux.

```
$ pip install -U litecli
```

The package is also available on Arch Linux through AUR in two versions: [litecli](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/litecli/) is based the latest release (git tag) and [litecli-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/litecli-git/) is based on the master branch of the git repo. You can install them manually or with an AUR helper such as `yay`:

```
$ yay -S litecli
```

or

```
$ yay -S litecli-git
```

For MacOS users, you can also use Homebrew to install it:

```
$ brew install litecli
```

## Usage

A config file is automatically created at `~/.config/litecli/config` at first launch. For Windows machines a config file is created at `~\AppData\Local\dbcli\litecli\config` at first launch. See the file itself for a description of all available options.
