Sorry about that! The debian packages are a bit outside my control, but `cargo install tailspin` should do the trick. I might need to remove it from the readme if people aren't able to install that way.

You can do this from the command line with `clx view [id]`. This was in the readme before, but I seem to have removed it when I last restructured the page. If you want to read the article in reader mode it is `clx read [id]`.

1. The cool thing about using `less` as the pager is everything you get out of the box, including search. Search from within less with `/`.

2. You can collapse / expand the comment section with h/l or left arrow and right arrow. The limitation to this is that it is not possible to collapse specific threads / replies, only all replies at once.

Thank you!

On linux you can still install with homebrew[1], but if you prefer you can install from source as well. Follow the installation instruction for installing Go, maybe your distro has a preferred way. Then you can clone the repo and either 1. install the binary with `go install` (make sure $GOPATH/bin in in your path variable) or 2. run with `go run main.go`.

On a side note, I am looking for help to add `clx` to linux package managers.

Right now it is somewhat out of the scope of this project as I am using less for viewing everything. But it would be great down the line to write replies in your favorite terminal editor all from within clx!
