futon on your command line
futoncli is a command line tool for managing and interacting with couchdb. it's open-source and easy to use.
futoncli requires npm, the node package manager.
[sudo] curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
[sudo] npm install futon -g
futoncli is designed with serendipity in mind. you should be able to work with it without the need for instructions.
futoncli uses nano under the hood, so most of the code is actually there.
even thought futoncli works it is not a finished product as it was hacked together in a couple of hours. you are likely to find problems with it and you are encouraged to send in a pull request for any issue you find.
all configuration data for your local futoncli install is located in the .futoncliconf file in your home directory. directly modifying this file is not really advised. you should be able to make all configuration changes via:
futon config
to get futoncli working it needs the HOME environment variable. if you want to change it before execution do this:
HOME=path/to/home/directory futon
if you're using windows set the variable before calling foutoncli:
SET HOME=C:\Path\To\Home\Directory
futon
or to set it permanently add a new environment variable.
