“Because you're tired of waiting for your bloated calendar program to
start up.”

1 Introduction
Wyrd is a text-based front-end to Remind, a sophisticated calendar and alarm
program available from
Roaring Penguin Software, Inc. Wyrd serves two purposes:
-
It displays reminders in a scrollable timetable view suitable for visualizing
your calendar at a glance.
- It makes creating and editing reminders fast and easy. However, Wyrd
does not hide Remind's textfile programmability, for this is what makes
Remind a truly powerful calendaring system.
Wyrd also requires only a fraction of the resources of most calendar programs
available today.
2 Installation
This section describes how to install Wyrd by compiling from source. Volunteers have
pre-packaged Wyrd for several popular operating systems, so you may be able to save
yourself some time by installing from those packages. Please check the

Wyrd is designed to be portable to most Unix-like operating systems, including
GNU/Linux, *BSD, and Mac OS X. Before installing Wyrd, your system must have the
following software installed:
Wyrd may be compiled by executing the following at the root of the source tree:
./configure
make
After compiling, become root and execute

systems (particularly *BSD), you may need to use gmake.
