Currently, users have to follow 6 steps to install and run 2048. Though these are small and can be done quickly, it would be much more convenient if we have a bash script that does this for us.
The bash script will do the following:
- Clone the repository in the
home folder.
mkdir build, cd build to create the build directory.
cmake .. and make to create the final, executable program.
These are the 3 main steps that the script will follow. After this, we should add the 2048 program to the PATH so that users can access the game from anywhere in their terminal.
Either adding to the PATH permanently or adding an alias to the game in their .bashrc or .zshrc files.
With the bash script we can also now handle OS specific actions, as adding to the PATH will be quite different in all the three major OSs.
