Using Cash interactively

The default way to install Cash is through NPM:

npm install cash -g

This will install Cash globally in your system path, with the cash and $ keywords.

Entering either of these in your terminal will enter you into the immersive Cash environment that looks and feels like a Linux terminal:

> $
$

Unlike a vanilla Windows environment, this supports built-in tabbed autocompletion for commands and the file system in addition to piping, persistent history, aliases and other familiar features.

For a list of the commands currently implemented, type help.

For help on a given command, type help {command} or {command} --help.

To exit from this environment use the exit or quit commands.

Windows integration

Most Windows commands are supported within the Cash environment, letting you do fancy things such as piping between Windows and Linux-flavored commands. If a command you use doesn't seem to be supported, do a Pull Request and add it to this list.

Other ways to use Cash

• Install all commands globally
• Install a single command globally
• Use Cash programatically
