To help you install the `haste-it` binaries efficiently on various architectures, I'll provide you with a README guide that includes bash one-liners for installation. Additionally, I'll include a simple bash script for automatic installation and setting up the environment variable for the Hastebin server URL.

# Haste-It Installation Guide
This guide provides instructions for installing the `haste-it` binary on various systems based on the architecture.
Welcome to the installation guide for Haste-It, a tool for uploading content to a Hastebin server.
## Installation
Before installing, ensure that the binary for your architecture has been built and is located in the `dist` directory.
Run the following command to install the `haste-it` binary:
Install Haste-It by executing the following command in your terminal:
```bash
bash install.sh
curl -sSL https://git.nixc.us/Nixius/haste-it/raw/branch/main/install.sh | sudo bash
```
This script will automatically detect your system's architecture, choose the correct binary from the `dist` directory, and install it.
This command fetches the `install.sh` script directly and runs it, handling the installation of the correct binary for your system's architecture.
## Configuration
After installation, set the environment variable for your Hastebin server by adding the following to your `.bashrc`, `.zshrc`, or equivalent shell configuration file:
After installation, configure the environment variable for your Hastebin server by adding the following line to your shell's configuration file (e.g., `.bashrc`, `.zshrc`):
```bash
export HASTEBIN_URL="https://your-hastebin-server.com"
```
Replace `https://your-hastebin-server.com` with the URL of your Hastebin server.
Replace `https://your-hastebin-server.com` with the actual URL of your Hastebin server.
Understood, let's adjust the "Usage" section of the README to clearly explain that the `haste-it` tool can accept text input not only from a file but also directly from a piped string, which enhances its flexibility for different use cases. Here’s the revised "Usage" section to reflect this capability:
## Usage
After installation and configuration, you can use `haste-it` by simply typing:
Once installed and configured, you can use Haste-It in several ways:
```bash
haste-it [file]
```
1. **From a File**: To upload text from a file, simply use the command:
```bash
haste-it [file]
```
Replace `[file]` with the path to the file you want to upload.
If no file is specified, `haste-it` will read from standard input.
```
2. **From Standard Input**: If no file is specified, `haste-it` can read from standard input. This allows you to pipe data directly into the command. For example:
```bash
echo "Hello, world!" | haste-it
```
or:
```bash
cat mytext.txt | haste-it
```
This is useful for integrating `haste-it` into scripts or workflows where you want to quickly upload output from other commands.
### Installation Script (`install.sh`)
## Note
Here's a simple bash script to automate the installation process. This script will detect the architecture, find the appropriate binary in the `dist` directory, and install it to `/usr/local/bin`.
## Instructions for Use
Ensure that install.sh has execute permissions:
```bash
chmod +x install.sh
```
Run the script with sufficient privileges (as it installs to /usr/local/bin):
```bash
sudo ./install.sh
```
Set the environment variable as described in the README.
This installation is intended as a one-off setup. No updates or maintenance will be provided.
