## Install

### Homebrew
You can install using homebrew. For direct binaries see below.

$ brew tap rbdr/apps git@git.sr.ht:~rbdr/homebrew-apps
$ brew install lyricli
```

### Prebuilt Packages
You can find pre-built packages for linux @ build.r.bdr.sh. There you can
find a `.tar.gz` that includes only the binary, or `.rpm` and `.deb`
distributions for fedora and debian that include a manpage.

Binaries are provided for x86_64 and aarch64.

Unstable releases are built directly from the main branch, while tagged
versions have their own release and can be considered more stable.

=> https://docs.genius.com/ genius api docs

Make sure you have rust and Make installed. Clone the repository, and run:

```
% make -e profile=release
```

Then copy the file somewhere in your PATH

```
% cp ./target/release/lyricli /usr/local/lyricli
```

## Usage
Running without arguments will try to detect your current song in apple music or spotify

```
$ lrc
```

You can run it with artist name and song name to fetch it manually

```
$ lrc artist_name song_name
```

You can view help with the h / help flag

```
$ lrc -h
$ lrc --help
```

### Manual

If you install using the rpm and deb you should be able to call help with man

```
man lrc
```

## Managing Sources

By default it comes with spotify and apple music sources enabled, you can disable sources using:

```
$ lrc -d (source_name)
$ lrc --disable-source (source_name)
```

You can enable the source again using

```
$ lrc -e (source_name)
$ lrc --enable-source (source_name)
```

You can list all the sources with:

```
$ lrc -l
$ lrc --list-sources
```
