DaLI (Data Loader Interface) is a data loader and input generator for RP2 (https://pypi.org/project/rp2), the privacy-focused, free, open-source cryptocurrency tax calculator: DaLI removes the need to manually prepare RP2 input files. Just like RP2, DaLI is also free, open-source and it prioritizes user privacy.

dali_generic misses proper missing argument catching. Can't even get help with the syntax #251

This is explained in the Generic country documentation. You need to define two environment variables: CURRENCY_CODE and LONG_TERM_CAPITAL_GAINS.

To set environment variables for the generic RP2 executable on Unix-like systems:

CURRENCY_CODE=eur LONG_TERM_CAPITAL_GAINS=1000000000 rp2_generic...

To set environment variables for the generic RP2 executable on Windows systems:

Set CURRENCY_CODE=eur LONG_TERM_CAPITAL_GAINS=1000000000 rp2_generic...
