Help Request: dot command doesn't execute anything

[yacosta738]

I tried to use sloth but the documentation is not clear at all.

I need help with some basic examples.

When I execute the command dot -v the output is

dot -v

I tried to migrate my archlinux dotfiles to Sloth but currently, I have problems with the basics of sloth.

Exist for some basic tutorials? #209

That dot is not this dot. If you are trying to install it with brew you should install with exactly these instructions:

brew tap gtrabanco/tools
brew install gtrabanco/tools/dot

You can see the steps here: https://twitter.com/slothfiles/status/1477657832493391874

Anyway the recommended version to have the latest version available you should install it as dependency in your dotfiles folder, this can be done automatically by using the installer script.

The steps are described in the README.

I tried to install and use Sloth in Manjaro OS and work fine, but in my archlinux PC, the dot command doesn't work. What dependencies use Sloth?

[gtrabanco]

You can see them in the project path: scripts/core/src/install.sh

Probably I am assuming that any package should be installed only in Debian distributions? 😅

Can be also that any package is not available through pacman. The only good package managers implementations are brew and aptitude.

There is algo missing installer for FreeBSD.

For Archlinux and Arch distributions the package python-yq is yq , docopts

sudo pacman -S python-pip yq

Ok I'll fix it soon. Thank you! 🙏
