Quick start
Installation
Install trackmac using pip:
$ pip install trackmac
or
$ git clone https://github.com/MacLeek/trackmac && cd trackmac && python setup.py install
Note:
If you are using virtual environment, you should use $VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/tm instead of tm or simply add it to your environment PATH.
Usage
First, create sqlite database and add .plist to keep trackmac run at startup
$ tm setup
With this command, a dbfile will be created under ~/Library/Application Support/com.macleek.github.trackmac/ and com.macleek.github.trackmac.plist will be added to ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
Now the trackmac will automatically start in the background.
