How to install

From rust

Run :

cargo install cultura

⚠️ It could be necessary to install the libssl-dev package.

From GitHub

Download the binary from the release page => https://github.com/antham/cultura/releases/latest and install it in your binary path.

From docker

Pull the image from docker.io/antham/cultura, see the shell config section for more information.

Shell config

To set up Cultura in your shell, please refer to the following configuration specific to your shell

Bash

It could depend how bash is setup.

In your bash config file add:

source <(cultura init bash)

If you use the docker container, download the file scripts/docker.bash and in your bash config file add:

source <path_of_the_script>/docker.bash

Fish

In your fish config file add:

cultura init fish | source

If you use the docker container, download the file scripts/docker.fish and in your fish config file add:

source <path_of_the_script>/docker.fish

Zsh

It could depend how zsh is setup.

In your zsh config file add:

source <(cultura init zsh)

If you use the docker container, download the file scripts/docker.zsh and in your zsh config file add:

source <path_of_the_script>/docker.zsh

ℹ️ If you have some slowdown issue with p10k, ensure that you moved the init command before the init of the p10k instant prompt

Configuration

The config can be edited with the provided commands or could be directly edited through the config file, run cultura config get-config-file-path to get the path of the config file.

It must be necessary to stop the daemon to take the config in account, so simply run after finishing the edition, cultura daemon stop.

If you are using cultura with Docker, you can replace the cultura command with docker exec cultura-af2fce60 cultura. Make sure the container is already running before executing the command.

The fact rendering

You can customize the way a fact is rendered by using the command cultura config set-template.

Let see an example :

__A new fact__:cyan:bold __=>__ $fact:yellow

Your text must be enclosed between 4 underscores, you can provide a color and use styles like in the example.

The $fact variable is a special one and will be interpolated with the fact.

Colors Styles
blue bold
red dimmed
green italic
black underline
yellow
white
purple
cyan
magenta

The providers

You can define which fact provider you want to use, default is to display all, if you want to customize which one to use for instance do cargo run config set-providers TIL,DYK and it will use both DYK and TIL as fact provider.

The available providers:

Provider Site
DYK https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Recent_additions
TIL https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/

Troubleshoot

Debugging issues on the daemon

Check the providers

With the binary:

  • you can ensure providers are running properly by calling cultura doctor run-providers, you will see for each provider if the parser is working properly.

With docker:

  • you can ensure providers are running properly by calling docker exec cultura-af2fce60 cultura doctor run-providers, you will see for each provider if the parser is working properly.

Reset the application

With the binary:

  • you can reset the application by running cultura doctor reset, it will remove the whole existing config and database.

With docker:

  • remove the container with docker rm -f cultura-af2fce60.
