CookCLI

CookCLI provides a suite of tools to create shopping lists and maintain recipes. We've built it to be simple and useful for automating your cooking and shopping routine with existing UNIX command line and scripting tools. It can also function as a webserver for your recipes, making them browsable on any device with a web browser.

Installation

Download latest release for your platform from the releases page and add the file to your operating system's PATH.

On Linux (or WSL), this is easy. Simply extract the binary into your binaries folder with sudo unzip CookCLI_1.0.0_linux_amd64.zip -d /usr/local/bin/ (note: you may need to install the unzip package first).

On MacOS:

brew tap cooklang/tap
brew install cooklang/tap/cook

Building from source

Checkout code.
Install Swift by following official instructions.
Build CookCLI from a directory with the source code:

swift build --configuration release -static-executable

Take binary from .build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/release/cook or .build/x86_64-apple-macosx/release/cook

Note. If you don't want to install Swift, there's a Dockerfile for building Linux binary:

docker build -t cook-builder .
docker run  --volume $(CURRENT_PATH):/src --workdir /src --entrypoint "swift" -it cook-builder build --configuration release -Xswiftc -static-executable
