This command line utility will return a short description of a mountain.

Installation

First, install node. Then, using the command line (terminal in Mac or Linux, Command Prompt or PowerShell in Windows), type:

npm install -g mountains-please

Usage

You have to use the command line again:

mountain-please    # Returns a mountain
 --tall          # Returns an 8000m mountain
 --other        # Returns a we little mountain
 --browser    # opens in the browser as well as running the command line

If you clone the repo on your computer (see below), you can simply run it from the repository directly instead of installing:

$ npm install
$ node bin/mountains-please.js

(the $ means "command prompt" -- it's not part of the actual command).

You can also try:

$ npm install
$ electron .

in the root directory

Similarly, add other mountains to the mountain/other folder. Be sure to name the file "some-mountains-name.md" so that everyone, and also the Github server, knows it's written in Markdown. Speaking of which, you will need to use the markdown syntax:

# Level 1 headline, for titles
## level 2 headline, for outline elements
### maybe you feel like a level 3 headline?
> quote
[link text](link URL)
*italics*
**bold**
![image alt text](Image URL "Image Title")
etc.
- list item
- another list item
