Installation

For each version, prebuilt binaries are automatically built for Linux, MacOS and Windows.

• You can download and unpack the latest release from the releases page.

• Using cargo-binstall

  cargo binstall stil
  

• Using ubi:

  ubi -p sermuns/stil
  

• From source with Cargo

  cargo install stil
  

Actually, you don't need to install locally. It works fine in docker container:

docker run -v $(pwd):/app -u $(id -u):$(id -g) ghcr.io/sermuns/stil <arguments to stil>

TODO

• ability to sort listing by column
• see thumbnails of photos/videos
  • (implement grid view, not just list view?)
