Commands

Every command can be run interactively or by using arguments.

Here is an example command:

./tilux 1 -cc -e

NOTE: If you have executed the scripts/add_project_to_path or scripts/add_alias script, you can use the tilux command without the ./ prefix when running commands.

All of the available commands:

Running Individual Scripts

NOTE: While you can run Tilux from any folder, you also have the option to run included scripts individually.

For example, you can directly execute the following scripts from the current folder (not inside Tilux):

You can also execute individual scripts directly by using the . (dot) notation.

ruby tilux/sys/info/os.rb

bash tilux/sys/file_folder/last_updated.sh

python3 tilux/monitoring/website_monitoring.py

# C
tilux/sys/file_folder/fs.o

If you prefer running specific scripts without launching Tilux itself, you can execute them individually as shown above.

Running with Docker

To run Tilux with Docker, make sure you have: Docker and Docker-compose installed.

If you encounter permission issues when running docker-compose, you can use sudo docker-compose.

Build

docker-compose build

Up

docker-compose up -d

Execute

docker-compose exec tilux tilux

Down

docker-compose down

Download Script or Scripts

Instead of building and installing everything, you can choose to download and install individual scripts.

To download a specific script (e.g., the computer bit system script), use the following command:

NOTE: Without running the build, there is a possibility that the required packages, classes, and modules have not been installed or loaded. To ensure the smooth operation of the scripts, it is recommended to run the build and ensure all dependencies are properly set up. If you’re downloading image scripts, you also need to download image_validator.rb.

# Example

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/endormi/tilux/master/sys/info/bit.sh

Make the script executable:

# Example

chmod +x bit.sh

Run the script:

# Example

./bit.sh

You can also directly download multiple scripts that are considered to be the most useful:

Checks for ruby.

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/endormi/tilux/master/download/download_scripts | bash

After downloading the scripts, you can add them to your dotfiles or any other desired location.

Customize Colors and Font

You can now personalize the appearance with custom colors and font settings. To get started, create a new file named .custom_settings.yaml.

Here’s an example of the file contents, derived from the .custom_settings.example.yaml file, which provides default values:

# Default values
custom:
  header_color: red
  version_text_color: light_white
  version_number_color: light_blue
  author_color: light_white
  link_color: light_white
  prompt_text_color: light_white
  prompt_color: light_yellow

  # For Python logo tool
  logo_color: red
  logo_font: slant

You can customize your preferences by modifying the file .custom_settings.yaml as shown below:

NOTE: The provided example below has just a subset of the available customization options. Feel free to explore and modify other values in the .custom_settings.yaml file according to your preferences. Refer to the default values for the full list of customization options.

custom:
  header_color: blue
  prompt_text_color: red
  prompt_color: blue

  logo_color: blue
  logo_font: block

When creating the .custom_settings.yaml file, ensure it is not empty to avoid errors. You can choose to customize specific values, such as header_color, while leaving others to retain their default color and font values.

Supported Customizations

For the colors, ANSI foreground colors are supported. Utilize the following values:

NOTE: To use light colors, simply prepend light_ to the color name, such as light_red.

black
red
green
yellow
blue
purple
cyan
white

For logo_color and logo_font, the options are drawn from termcolor and FIGlet. Explore the available options for logo_color in the termcolor README.md. The color options provided here align with the earlier set values, with the only distinction being the use of purple instead of magenta and some light colors.

For font options, refer to this example site showcasing various fonts.

Customize different configurations to find the perfect customization that suits your preferences.
