If ~/.local/bin is not in your PATH, add this to your shell configuration file (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc.):

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

File	Platform
`duras-linux-amd64`	Linux x86_64 (Debian 12+, Ubuntu 22.04+, Fedora, Arch)
`duras-macos-arm64`	macOS Apple Silicon (M1 to M5)
`duras-macos-amd64`	macOS Intel

macOS may block unsigned binaries downloaded from the internet. If a security warning appears, remove the quarantine attribute:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /usr/local/bin/duras

Requires OCaml (4.14 or later) and dune (3.0 or later).

On Debian or Ubuntu:

sudo apt install ocaml ocaml-dune

On macOS with Homebrew:

brew install ocaml dune

Then:

git clone https://codeberg.org/duras/duras.git
cd duras
make build
make install

This installs duras to /usr/local/bin/duras and the man page to /usr/local/share/man/man1/duras.1.

To install to your home directory instead:

make install PREFIX=~/.local

doas pkg_add duras

duras --version
duras today

By default, notes are stored in ~/Documents/Notes. To use a different location, set the DURAS_DIR environment variable:

export DURAS_DIR=~/notes

Add this to your shell configuration file to make it permanent.

duras opens notes in the editor set by the EDITOR environment variable. If EDITOR is not set, it tries nano, vi, and ed in that order.

export EDITOR=vim
