This package takes a markdown file, and creates a new markdown file in which each link is accompanied by an archive.org link, in the format [...](original link) ([a](archive.org link)).

How to install

Several different ways:

  • Add this file to your path, for instance by moving it to the /usr/bin folder and giving it execute permissions, or
  • copy its functions into your .bashrc file, or
  • for Ubuntu distributions 20.04 (Focal Fossa) and above:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nunosempere/longnowformd
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt install longnowformd

This uses the nunosempere/longnowformd PPA (Personal Package Archive)

This utility requires archivenow as a dependency, which itself requires a python installation. It can be installed with

$ pip install archivenow ## respectively, pip3
