dicepwgen - A diceware password generator
This is the README file for the password generator dicepwgen.
Documentation
You can read the documentation without installing the software:
perldoc dicepwgen.pod
If it is already installed, you can read the manual page:
man dicepwgen
Installation
This software doesn't have any external dependencies, but you need either BSD make or GNU make installed to build it.
First you need to check out the source code. Skip this, if you have already done so:
git clone git@github.com:TLINDEN/diceware.git
Next, change into the newly created directory 'diceware' and compile the source code:
cd diceware
make
To install, type this command:
sudo make install
This will install the binary to $PREFIX/sbin/dicepwgen and
the manual page to $PREFIX/man/man1/dicepwgen.1. You can
modify $PREFIX during installation time like this:
make install PREFIX=/opt

Getting help
Although I'm happy to hear from dicepwgen users in private email, that's the best way for me to forget to do something.
