Installation

Assuming you have dart in your PATH, run the following command:

dart pub global activate wnews

That’s it. Now, you can use wnews from anywhere on the command line.

Development

To use wnews while developing, go to the root directory of the project, and run

dart pub global activate --source path .

After this, the executable in bin/wnews.dart is accessible on your $PATH by simply typing wnews (as if you activated the version that is on pub.dev).
