Installation
brew trust --tap abue-ammar/tinycast # required for third-party taps
brew tap abue-ammar/tinycastIf you don't write code
To activate AI features in Tinycast, define your own API key or installed AI account credentials via the Settings menu. After this process, you can start chats directly from the palette and perform quick operations such as grammar correction, summarization, or translation on selected text.
Repository: https://github.com/abue-ammar/tinycast. Follow the official instructions in the README of this repository for setup and execution.
Before starting, check which OS we are on and if the necessary tools (e.g., Python, Node.js, Git, Docker) are installed. Install any missing ones step-by-step according to this system.
Create a new, empty folder to work in. Do not touch any files outside this folder and do not delete anything. Tell me what you are going to do in one sentence before running each command.
If an API key is required, do not ask me to type it into the chat. Show me how to add it to the .env file and ensure this file is not pushed to Git.
Tell me what I should see on the screen at the end of each step. If an error occurs, I will paste the error message to you exactly as it is, and we will fix it together.
