Installation

To install, you need to have the language Go installed on your system and Git.

After that, simply clone and compile with the commands below:

git clone https://github.com/digitallyserviced/tdfgo.git
cd tdfgo
go build

Once finished there will be a binary in the same directory you compiled. If you want to test all fonts with the text you choose, for example word/phrase: “Terminal Root”, run:

./tdfgo/tdfgo fonts -vp -t "Terminal Root" | less

less is for pagination, as there are many fonts and styles. Keep pressing [Enter] to display them one at a time!

If you want to install the tdfgo command on your system, run:

Still inside the directory you compiled.

sudo install -v tdfgo /usr/local/bin/

You can now remove the cloned repository and also remove the go/ folder that was automatically created in your home directory (with sudo or root):
