What is pooi?
(pooi is a fork of oi that is written by PureArtistry David Sherriff I've forked it because it is unmaintained and replaced all the contact details to mine in all the places to ensure active development continues. ) pooi project is a an attempt to keep the cli user more attatched to cli environment even when there is a need to perform an arbitary web search. The goal is to make pooi feature rich enough so that the user can perform as many web search functions and get the reslts in the commandline itself instead of opening up a fully featured web browser.
use pooi --help
for full usage information
Installation
On Arch Linux
Pooi is available in the AUR you can use an AUR Helper such as paru or yay'
paru -S pooi
or
yay -S pooi
All the other Linux distros/ macOS can install cargo
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
(or use your distro's package manager)
and then run

this is only required for building the binary, if you have no more use for cargo you can remove it afterwards

then sudo cp ./target/release/pooi /usr/local/bin
a zsh completion script is located at the following path ./etc/completions/_oi
but I currently have no idea where to put it (sorry!)

then make a new folder in a location of your choosing
copy .\target\release\pooi.exe [letter]:\path\to\your\folder
following this guide you can add your new folder to you environment PATH
a PowerShell completion script is located at the following path .\etc\completions\_pooi.ps1
