stack update
stack install herms

Manually cloning and installing from source with Stack

git clone https://github.com/LuxMiranda/herms
cd herms
stack update
stack install

Via Hackage and Cabal

Note: Your mileage may vary with dependency resolution

cabal update
cabal install herms

Manually with Cabal

See ./nix/README.md.

Usage

Command-line interface

Herm's has a command-line interface!

Below is the exhaustive list of all commands and their functionalities. Take a gander!

Usage: herms [-v|--version] COMMAND
  HeRM's: a Haskell-based Recipe Manager. Type "herms --help" for options

  Available options:
    -h,--help                Show this help text
    -v,--version             Show version

    Available commands:
      list                     list recipes
      view                     view the particular recipes
      add                      add a new recipe (interactively)
      edit                     edit a recipe
      import                   import a recipe file
      export                   export recipes to stdout
      remove                   remove the particular recipes
      shopping                 generate a shopping list for given recipes
      datadir                  show locations of recipe and config files
      find                     find all matching strings within recipe book
                               (supports extended regex)

Configuring Herm's and managing recipe files

Herm's stores files in the following locations:

• The configuration file, config.hs in the XDG configuration directory, typically ~/.config/herms on most Linux systems

• The recipes file, recipes.yaml in the XDG data directory, typically ~/.local/share/herms on most Linux systems

To see where these are stored on your system, run herms datadir.

config.hs is a pseudo-Haskell-source-code file with several options for configuring the behaviour of Herm's. It currently supports the following options:

• defaultUnit : The default unit system to show recipes in. Options: Imperial, Metric, None. Setting to None will simply show recipes in whatever unit system they're stored in.
• defaultServingSize : Default serving size to calculate when showing recipes. Can be any non-negative integer; set to 0 for no default. This can be useful when you're always cooking for the same number of people!
• recipesFile : The recipes file to use. This option currently supports relative (but not absolute) location, as well; if your data directory is ~/herms/data, for example, and you want a recipe file in your home directory called ~/GrandmasHugeCookbook.yaml, set this option to "../../GrandmasHugeCookbook.yaml".
• language : Human language to use. See above supported languages.
