About the petfacts CLI application

Pet facts is a simple but fun application that retrieves either dog or cat facts from two different resources.

Why did I write it?

I wrote this application to learn a python module called argparse, and this seemed like the perfect fun project to do this with.

How can I get it?

petfacts comes with an automated installer that will install petfacts, and remove it when you want it gone.

NOTE: Soon this will be on pypi as well, and you should be able to install it via pip.

Steps to install:

• First clone this repo git clone https://github.com/CodeCanna/petfacts.git
• cd into the newly cloned directory
• Once you are in the main petfacts directory you can run the installer sudo ./install; this will install petfacts
• Done! You can test it by either printing out the help menu, or you can display a fact! Try running petfacts --cat!

Steps to uninstall:

• cd back into the cloned petfacts directory or re-clone the project to give you access to the installer.
• run sudo ./install --uninstall to remove petfacts.
• (Optionally) you can use sudo rm -f /usr/bin/petfacts to remove it manually, just be careful!!

Whats next?

• TODO: I want to get this up on PyPi so you just have to use pip to install.
• TODO: Give it the ability to store facts, why? Just because I'm learning.
