== Overview
Enbas is a https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/[GoToSocial] client for your terminal written
in https://go.dev[Go]. The project is in its experimental stages of development so bugs and breaking
changes may appear. Enbas has limited functionality at the moment and it is **not** recommended for use
with your production GoToSocial servers.

=== Repository mirrors
- **Code Flow:** https://codeflow.dananglin.me.uk/apollo/enbas
- **Codeberg:** https://codeberg.org/dananglin/enbas
- **GitHub:** https://github.com/dananglin/enbas
Enbas is primarily developed in Code Flow https://codeflow.dananglin.me.uk/apollo/enbas[here] with the `main` branch pushed to
https://codeberg.org/dananglin/enbas[Codeberg] and https://github.com/dananglin/enbas[GitHub]
== Installation
=== Download
Pre-built binaries will be available on the release page on both Codeberg and GitHub when the first
release is made.
=== Build from source
==== Requirements
===== Go
A minimum version of Go 1.22.0 is required for installing spruce.
Please go https://go.dev/dl/[here] to download the latest version.
===== Mage (Optional)
The project includes mage targets for building and installing the binary.
The main advantage of using mage over `go install` is that the build information is baked into the binary
during compilation. You can visit the https://magefile.org/[Mage website] for instructions on how to install Mage.
==== Install with mage
You can install Enbas with Mage using the following commands:
[source,console]
----
git clone https://github.com/dananglin/enbas.git
mage install
----
By default Mage will attempt to install Enbas to `/usr/local/bin/enbas` which will most likely fail as you won't
the permission to write to `/usr/local/bin/`. You will need to either run `sudo mage install`, or you can
(preferably) change the install prefix to a directory that you have permission to write to using
the `ENBAS_INSTALL_PREFIX` environment variable. For example:
[source,console]
----
ENBAS_INSTALL_PREFIX=${HOME}/.local mage install
----
This will install Enbas to `~/.local/bin/enbas`.
