Ft_toolbox

A command-line interface to download JetBrains IDEs on computers within the 42 network.

Installation

Install from pypi with pip

Support

We welcome all feedback and suggestions. If you need help, have a feature request, or found a bug, please open a new issue on our GitHub repository.

You can also reach out to us on the 42_born2code Slack workspace.

Current Limitations

Currently, the tool has only been tested at the 42 Lyon campus. We are not certain if it will work on other campuses, as we don't know how user environments are set up at other locations.

Please report any issues you encounter so that we can create the best tool possible for the entire 42 network.
