Installation

To install mybar, open your terminal. Use pip to install the package:

$ python -m pip install mybar

Then run it with Python:

$ python -m mybar

The first time you run mybar, it will check if you have a config file in the default location:

-- mybar --
The default config file at '/home/me/.config/mybar/mybar.conf' does not exist.
Would you like to make it now? [Y/n] y
Wrote new config file to '/home/me/.config/mybar/mybar.conf'

You can also skip writing a config file and mybar will start running a bar with default parameters:

Would you like to make it now? [Y/n] n
mymachine|Up 4d:14h:54m|CPU 04%|36C|Mem 3.8G|/:50.8G|Bat 100CHG|wifi|2023-08-01 17:06:04

Note that any options passed to the command on the first run will be written to the new config file.
