Bored of talking out loud to Siri? Don’t you wish you could just type to her? Well that’s exactly what Betty is. It’s Siri for the command line. It translates plain English to command and executes it on the terminal.
Installing Betty on a Linux Machine
1. Install Ruby (required to use Betty) and curl (required by some Betty commands). using the following commands:
sudo apt-get install ruby curl
2. Install git and download the latest Betty In Ubuntu, install them using the following command:
sudo apt-get install git
cd && git clone https://github.com/pickhardt/betty/
Or, to download Betty without using Git, grab THIS archive, extract it in your home folder and rename the extracted folder to “betty”.
3. And finally, you’ll have to add the path to the “betty/main.rb” file as an alias for “betty” in your ~/.bashrc file. Do this automatically (assuming you’ve downloaded Betty in your home folder!) by using the following commands:
echo "alias betty=\"~/betty/main.rb\"" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
A complete list of commands is available on the Betty GitHub page, under Documentation. You can also submit bug reports and check out the latest code there.
