💖 HIKISETUP(1) — General Commands Manual 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about hikisetup — the hiki setup utility for Debian ✨ she's a little command with main character energy and she's here to get your Hiki install looking cute.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

hikisetup [--copy] [directory]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. two optional things and she's done. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so real talk: this manual page documents briefly the support commands for hiki. it was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page — not one, zero, nada. so Debian said "fine, we'll do it ourselves" and honestly? slay. 👑

hikisetup is a program that make directory and create configuration file for Hiki. that's her whole job and she's obsessed with it.

here's the tea on where she sets up:

  • if directory is specified, it sets up to that directory. 🎀
  • if directory is not specified, she sets up to the current directory. lowkey convenient, no cap.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --copy — copy various files instead of symlink. 🫶

okay so by default she symlinks some files and directories. the perk? cgi and some files to use get upgraded automatically when the package is upgraded — automatic glow-up, iconic. 🌈

BUT (and this is the important part, don't skip it bestie) if your web server does not allow running CGI that is a symlink, then you should copy the CGI file. that's literally what --copy is for. know the difference, iykyk. 💀

not me warning you twice: symlinks are the default and they upgrade themselves, but a symlinked CGI won't fly on every web server. check your server before you commit. fr fr.

and that's the whole page, babe 🎀 shoutout to the General Commands Manual for hosting this one, and to HIKISETUP(1) holding down the footer like the queen she is. no date, no version, just vibes and a utility that makes your directories and config files for you. go set something up. 💅✨🦋
