CLI-Exercises

Linux CLI Text Processing Exercises

This TUI application includes 60+ questions to test your CLI text processing skills.

Note
This application is intended for exercises based on Linux CLI tools. You might still be able to solve the exercises on other platforms, but I'm not sure if it works.

Installation

This app is available on PyPI as cliexercises. Example installation instructions are shown below, adjust them based on your preferences and OS.

# virtual environment
$ python3 -m venv textual_apps
$ cd textual_apps
$ source bin/activate
$ pip install cliexercises

# launch the app
$ cliexercises

To run the app without having to enter the virtual environment again, add this alias to .bashrc (or equivalent):

# you'll have to change the path
alias cliexercises='/path/to/textual_apps/bin/cliexercises'

As an alternative to manually managing such virtual environments, you can use https://github.com/pypa/pipx instead:

$ pipx install cliexercises
$ cliexercises

As yet another alternative, you can install textual (see Textual documentation for more details), clone this repository and run the cli_exercises.py file.

Adjust the terminal dimensions for the widgets to appear properly, for example 84x25 (characters x lines). Here's a sample screenshot:
