I've written a small doc to describe how to +get this running in a development setup. + +https://github.com/dbcli/mycli/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md + +Please feel free to reach out to me if you need help. + +My email: amjith.r@gmail.com + +Twitter: [@amjithr](http://twitter.com/amjithr) + +## Detailed Install Instructions: + +### Fedora + +Fedora has a package available for mycli, install it using dnf: + +``` +$ sudo dnf install mycli +``` + +### RHEL, Centos + +I haven't built an RPM package for mycli for RHEL or Centos yet. So please use `pip` to install `mycli`. You can install pip on your system using: + +``` +$ sudo yum install python-pip +``` + +Once that is installed, you can install mycli as follows: + +``` +$ sudo pip install mycli +``` + +### Windows + +Follow the instructions on this blogpost: https://www.codewall.co.uk/installing-using-mycli-on-windows/ + +### Cygwin + +1. Make sure the following Cygwin packages are installed: +`python3`, `python3-pip`. +2. Install mycli: `pip3 install mycli` + +### Thanks: + +This project was funded through kickstarter. My thanks to the [backers](http://mycli.net/sponsors) who supported the project. + +A special thanks to [Jonathan Slenders](https://twitter.com/jonathan_s) for +creating [Python Prompt Toolkit](http://github.com/jonathanslenders/python-prompt-toolkit), +which is quite literally the backbone library, that made this app possible. +Jonathan has also provided valuable feedback and support during the development +of this app. + +[Click](http://click.pocoo.org/) is used for command line option parsing +and printing error messages. + +Thanks to [PyMysql](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL) for a pure python adapter to MySQL database. + + +### Compatibility + +Mycli is tested on macOS and Linux. + +**Mycli is not tested on Windows**, but the libraries used in this app are Windows-compatible. +This means it should work without any modifications. If you're unable to run it +on Windows, please [file a bug](https://github.com/dbcli/mycli/issues/new). + +### Configuration and Usage + +For more information on using and configuring mycli, [check out our documentation](http://mycli.net/docs). + +Common topics include: +- [Configuring mycli](http://mycli.net/config) +- [Using/Disabling the pager](http://mycli.net/pager) +- [Syntax colors](http://mycli.net/syntax) |
