Bash scripts to use nostr the Unix Way.

Overview

Relay and user subscription information is kept in a local config file:

cat ~/.config/nostr/cfg.json

Setup

1. First install the nostr [cli](rubenvanstaden/nostr: Notes and Other Zettels Transmitted by Relays) written in Go.

{
  "relays": [
    "ws://localhost:8080"
  ],
}

2. Install the script locally and set environment variables.

# Install path
export SCRIPT="$HOME/.local/bin"

# Relay to connect too.
export RELAY=ws://0.0.0.0:8080

make install

Usage

1. First you need to add a relay to connect too.

nrelay --add 'ws://localhost:8080'

1. First you have to follow a user via their public key (this includes yourself).

nfollow <npub>

2. Request events from relay and pipe the JSON response to a more clean output.

nreq | nshow

4. Publish text event to relay

nevent 'Hello friend'
