Installation

The current version of doing is 1.0.93.

$ [sudo] gem install doing

If you run into permission errors using the above command, you'll need to either use sudo (sudo gem install doing) or if you're using Homebrew, you have the option to install via brew-gem:

brew install brew-gem
brew gem install doing

Run doing config to open your ~/.doingrc file in the editor defined in the $EDITOR environment variable. Set up your doing_file right away (where you want entries to be stored), and cover the rest after you've read the docs.

If you don't have an $EDITOR defined, you'll get an error running doing config:

  error: No EDITOR variable defined in environment

All doing commands that open an editor depend on this variable, so you need to set one in your shell's configuration/startup files. For example, for Bash you would add a line in ~/.bash_profile:

  export EDITOR="vim"

You can update doing to the latest version at any time by running doing update (which is a shortcut for gem install doing that will run with sudo only if absolutely necessary in your environment)
