A dictionary for your terminal. Rewrite of Novi in Nim.

Povi

A dictionary for your terminal. This project is identical to my other project, novi. But it is faster because it is written in Nim.

Installation

First Method

You can download pre-compiled amd64 binaries for Windows and Linux from the release page of the GitHub mirror of this repository.

Second Method

Install Nim and Nimble.

git clone --branch main --depth 1 <REPO URL> povi
cd povi
nimble install

Note: this method may error at the last step. But don't panic, it should still install despite the error. Also note that it will install it in your Nimble's home folder, which is usually ~/.nimble/ (see the bin/ folder there.)
