## 📥 Install
### Cargo (Recommended)
`blackout` can be installed from [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/blackout).
`cargo install blackout`
### Binary
You can download the pre-built binaries from the [release page](https://github.com/jandrus/blackout/releases).
### Compile source
#### Prerequisites:
- [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/)
- [Cargo package manager](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/).
#### Build
```shell
git clone https://github.com/jandrus/blackout.git
cargo build --release
```
This will produce an binary executable file at `target/release/blackout` that you can copy to a directory in your `$PATH`.
## ⚙ Configuration
### Config file
*Note*: If the configuration file does not exist at startup, the user will be prompted to guided through a generation prompt.
#### Location
The configuration file is located in:
| OS | Config File Location |
|---------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Linux | `$HOME/.config/blackout/config.toml` |
| Windows | `C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\ash\blackout\config\config.toml` |
| macOS | `/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/io.ash.blackout\config.toml` |
#### Config Options
- `color`: This allows for colored output to the terminal. This is recommended. Note: `color` is set to `false`, icons will be disabled.
- `editor`: This is the command that will be used to render an editor to the user for note input.
- `banner`: `blackout`, without any arguments, defaults to interactive mode. `banner` enables a banner message on startup.
- `auto_copy`: Enable/disable generated passwords and passphrases to be automatically copied to the clipboard when generated.
- `icons`: Enable/disable icons. Note: this requires [nerdfonts](https://www.nerdfonts.com/#home).
- `autobackup`: Enable/disable auto-backups of blackout data when a note/totp url is added or edited.
Here is an example configuration.
```toml
color = true
editor = "vim"
banner = true
auto_copy = false
icons = true
autobackup = true
```
### Wordlist
On startup, the file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitcoin/bips/master/bip-0039/english.txt will be downloaded to the config directory stated above and named `wordlist.txt`. This is a list of 2048 words used for wallet seed phrase generation.
When directed to generate a passphrase, `blackout` will choose the given number of words randomly from this list. Any words added to this file are able to be chosen by the passphrase and seed phrase generator. Entries MUST be on a newline (no comma separated lists, no space separated lists).
## 🛡 ️Security
### Encryption
`blackout` uses [SQLCipher](https://github.com/sqlcipher/sqlcipher) which is a fork of SQLite that adds 256 bit AES encryption of database files and other security features like:
- on-the-fly encryption
- tamper detection
- memory sanitization
- strong key derivation
- algorithms provided by the peer reviewed OpenSSL crypto library
