Quick Setup

When you first open the program, there will be no config.webbox file. The program creates a new file in the "HOME" directory and exits.

Once the file is created, it will open the default set links, blazingly fast 😎

After the initial execution, use ./webbox -help to view the available commands

⚠️ - do not manually edit the file, doing so can result in breaking the program. You have been warn. If the program does happen to break, delete the config.webbox file and run the program without commands in order to create a new config file using the internal template.
