<h1 id="getting-started">Getting started</h1>
<h2 id="installation">Installation</h2>
<p>On OS X, the easiest way to install <em>jrnl</em> is using
<a href="http://brew.sh/">Homebrew</a></p>
<pre><code class="sh">brew install jrnl
</code></pre>
<p>On other platforms, install <em>jrnl</em> using pip</p>
<pre><code class="sh">pip install jrnl
</code></pre>
<p>Or, if you want the option to encrypt your journal,</p>
<pre><code class="sh">pip install jrnl[encrypted]
</code></pre>
<p>to install the dependencies for encrypting journals as well.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>Installing the encryption library, <code>pycrypto</code>, requires a <code>gcc</code> compiler. For this reason, jrnl will
not install <code>pycrypto</code> unless explicitly told so like this. You can <a href="https://www.dlitz.net/software/pycrypto/">install PyCrypto manually</a>
first or install it with <code>pip install pycrypto</code> if you have a <code>gcc</code> compiler.
Also note that when using zsh, the correct syntax is <code>pip install "jrnl[encrypted]"</code> (note the quotes).</p>
</div>
<p>The first time you run <code>jrnl</code> you will be asked where your journal file
should be created and whether you wish to encrypt it.</p>
<h2 id="quickstart">Quickstart</h2>
<p>to make a new entry, just type</p>
<pre><code class="sh">jrnl yesterday: Called in sick. Used the time to clean the house and spent 4h on writing my book.
</code></pre>
<p>and hit return. <code>yesterday:</code> will be interpreted as a time stamp.
Everything until the first sentence mark (<code>.?!:</code>) will be interpreted as
the title, the rest as the body. In your journal file, the result will
look like this:</p>
<pre><code class="output">2012-03-29 09:00 Called in sick.
Used the time to clean the house and spent 4h on writing my book.
</code></pre>
<p>If you just call <code>jrnl</code>, you will be prompted to compose your entry -
but you can also configure <em>jrnl</em> to use your external editor.</p>
