## Building
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Install the dependencies:
|
2019-05-17 22:15:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2020-04-06 12:29:12 +00:00
|
|
|
- go (>=1.13)
|
2020-02-02 06:13:59 +00:00
|
|
|
- [scdoc](https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/scdoc)
|
2019-05-17 22:15:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2019-05-25 19:55:50 +00:00
|
|
|
Then compile aerc:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2019-05-17 17:45:20 +00:00
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
|
|
2019-08-05 07:16:10 +00:00
|
|
|
aerc optionally supports notmuch. To enable it, you need to have a recent
|
|
|
|
|
version of [notmuch](https://notmuchmail.org/#index7h2), including the header
|
|
|
|
|
files (notmuch.h). Then compile aerc with the necessary build tags:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ GOFLAGS=-tags=notmuch make
|
|
|
|
|
|

## Installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# make install
|
2019-05-25 19:58:40 +00:00
|
|
|
$ aerc
|
2019-03-22 02:07:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2019-05-25 19:58:40 +00:00
|
|
|
On its first run, aerc will copy the default config files to `~/.config/aerc`
|
2020-07-03 19:54:38 +00:00
|
|
|
on Linux or `~/Library/Preferences/aerc` on MacOS and show the account
|
2020-04-12 13:53:44 +00:00
|
|
|
configuration wizard.
|
2019-01-14 01:09:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2019-06-12 16:20:49 +00:00
|
|
|
If you redirect stdout to a file, logging output will be written to that file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ aerc > log
