Re: A couple Terminal questions

Hi, Andrew: Wow. You are moving forward quickly, Andrew. Congratulations! Quick Comment: I wouldn't worry about TDSR on Linux, unless you want to compare and contrast between it and Speakup and/or Fenrir. Of course, if you prefer it to those other two, by all means add it to your Linux! It also

Hi Again, Andrew: Yeah, I can't say for sure, but I think I must have steered you to an out of date repository. I checked with my installation which runs as expected and got the following pointer: https://docs.brew.sh If you go there and follow the Installation link, you should have up to date

Hi, Andrew: Homebrew should be fine with Sierra. It's possible the link in the page you got from me was old. That would explain the error you got. So, I'm thinking good clear instructions, but an old, out of date web pointer. I'll check that out for you. Meanwhile, there's no damage done. You ju

Re: A couple Terminal questions

Dear Janina, Ok, so I have gone ahead and installed Homebrew. Everything seems to have gone ok apart from the fact that after executing the command to install Homebrew, I got a warning message saying that this installation was old and unsupported and whether I wanted to go ahead. I ddid go ah

Hi, Andrew: A couple responses to your questions here up top: 1.) Sounds -- Usually it's some kind of audio file, not speech. You might call it a boing, or a bleep, or whatever. In W3C we sometimes call them sonicons, or even earcons (punning on a mispelling of icons as eye cons). If you pres

Re: A couple Terminal questions

Hi, Andrew: I can, and sbelow will, walk you through getting homebrew installed on your Mac. It's just useful to have it. What it does: Allows you to run a lot of Linux utilities directly on your Mac terminal. Now, for tdsr, which I presume means something like "terminal desktop screen readner,'

Re: A couple Terminal questions

Janina, I’ve looked carefully at Greg’s suggestion and then did a search for Homebrew and TDSR and since the only thing i understand about Python is that it is one of the programming languages, I thought I’m too green around the gills to even attempt to play around with TDSR in case I mess up m

Re: A couple Terminal questions

Simon, Andrew, All: Simon is correct. The correct switches will indeed allow you to write the output of any command to a file. This works everywhere, because everybody wants this kind of functionality--whether Mac, Windows, or Linux/Unix. It's called redirection, and it goes one of two ways: Usi

RE: A couple Terminal questions

Hi Andrew, Terminal should let you do what your after, With the listing of files and if you use the correct switchs you should be able to write the list of files and associated data to a file I know it's possible to do this in ms dos and power shell, so I would think linux etc would do the s

Re: A couple Terminal questions

Thanks for the reminder, Greg. I'm just now starting the install of TDSR. For me that means an update of homebrew, followed by an upgrade of python3, and that is taking quite some time. Hopeing the result will truly be easier to use than VO in the terminal, as you suggest. That would be a good thi

Hi, Andrew: Glad to hear you're giving the CLI the old college try. Hope it becomes a very comfortable environment for you! I want to suggest it's important you focus on zsh as Apple now defaults to zsh. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208050. Since you're a beginning command line user, you d

Jonathan, You are so kind. Thank you for your response. I’m new to the command line, but I’m very serious in learning. So your kind attitude and response in non-technical terms is very welcome. As to the 2nd point, I was surprised because I’m following Joe Kissel’s from TitBits Take Control
