Linux based File Explorer

A file explorer for linux systems that runs on terminal

Prerequisites

1. Platform: Linux

2. Software Requirement:

• G++ compiler
  • To install G++ : sudo apt-get install g++

Steps to run the project

1. Open your terminal with the present working directory set as the project folder.

2. Run the make command to run the makefile:

   make

3. Finally, run the project using the following command: ./main

Assumptions

• Default mode is Normal mode, and you can switch to Command mode by pressing :
• Press ESC key to go back to normal mode from command mode.
• Press q key in normal mode to exit from the program.
• In Normal Mode, the maximum window size is assumed to be 10.
• In Command mode, use the backspace key to edit the command.
• For files/directories with spaces in their names, use a backslash (\) as the delimiter. For example, if the file name is "os assignment" (without double quotes), you should enter "os\ assignment" (without double quotes).
• It is preferable to open the terminal in full size. If one record spans over more than one line, navigation may not work correctly.
• If Enter is pressed on a file and no default application is found, there will be no movement.
