# INSTALLATION
To install scriptcrypt you have to have these installed:

pip3
setuptools

On the debian-like system you may obtain those by issuing the following commands:
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo pip3 install -U pip
sudo pip3 install setuptools
Finally, to install scriptcrypt system-wide:
sudo pip3 install scriptcrypt
Or for current user only:
pip3 install –user scriptcrypt
If you installing scriptcrypt for the specific user, you may have to modify your system $PATH variable to add ~/.local/bin folder to it.
# OPTIONS
scriptcrypt provides some useful options:
scriptcrypt –db sets the path to the database
scriptcrypt –editor and scriptcrypt –viewer set the TUI text editor and pager
scriptcrypt –manage-envars allows to add custom environmental variables. These variables are set before the script execution.
# –POPULATE OPTIONS
scriptcrypt –populate-db copies a predefined database for the user usage
scriptcrypt –populate-bash copies bash-completion script to the user local bash-completion folder
scriptcrypt –populate-zsh copies zsh-completion script to the user local completion folder.
Note that this function only works if you use oh-my-zsh zsh settings framework as it uses ‘~/oh-my-zsh/completion’ folder.
If you want to use zsh completion without installing oh-my-zsh, you need to either copy _scriptcrypt completion file to one of the /usr/share/zsh/functions/Completion folders or add _scriptcrypt containing folder to zsh $fpath variable.
# KNOWN ISSUES

using backspace or similar when editing entries containing Unicode characters may have unexpected results. When this happens scriptcrypt falls back to the empty strings

# ADDITIONS
json2db.sh and db2json.sh scripts may be useful if out want to convert database to json fine and visa-versa
