## Features
* **Free and open source**. Silver Bullet is MIT licensed.
* **The truth is in the markdown.** Silver Bullet doesnt use proprietary file formats. It keeps its data as plain markdown files on disk. While SB uses a database for indexing and caching some indexes, all of that can be rebuilt from its markdown source at any time. If SB would ever go away, you can still read your pages with any text editor.
* **One single, distraction free mode.** SB doesnt have a separate view and edit mode. It doesnt have a “focus mode.” Youre always in focused edit mode, why wouldnt you?
* **Keyboard oriented**. You can use SB fully using the keyboard, typin the keys.
* **Extend it your way**. SB is highly extensible with [plugs](https://silverbullet.md/🔌_Plugs), and you can customize it to your liking and your workflows.

## Installing Silver Bullet
Silver Bullet is built using [Deno](https://deno.land). To install it, you will
need to have Deno installed (tested on 1.26 or later). If you have homebrew on a
Mac, this is just a single `brew install deno` away.
To run Silver Bullet create a folder for your pages (it can be empty, or be an
existing folder with `.md` files) and run the following command in your
terminal:

In a regular SB installation, the body of this query 👆 (in between the placeholders) would automatically be kept up to date as new pages are added to the space that match the query. 🤯 Have a look at the [[template/plug]] _template_ (referenced in the `render` clause) to see how the results are rendered using handlebars syntax and have a look at one of the linked pages to see how the _metadata_ is specified, which is subsequently used to query and render in this page. And to learn about the specific plug, of course.

## Installing Silver Bullet
For this you will need to have a recent version of [node.js installed](https://nodejs.org/en/) (16+). Silver Bullet has only been tested on MacOS and Linux thus far. It could also run on Windows, let me know if it does.
Silver Bullet is built using [Deno](https://deno.land). To install it, you will need to have Deno installed (tested on 1.26 or later). If you have homebrew on a Mac, this is just a single `brew install deno` away.

To run Silver Bullet create a folder for your pages (it can be empty, or be an existing folder with `.md` files) and run the following command in your terminal:
npx @silverbulletmd/server <path-to-folder>
deno run -A --unstable https://get.silverbullet.md <pages-path>
Optionally you can use the `--port` argument to specify a HTTP port (defaults to `3000`) and you can pass a `--password` flag to require a password to access. Note this is a rather weak security mechanism, so its recommended to add additional layers of security on top of this if you run this on a public server somewhere (at least add TLS). Personally, I run it on a tiny Linux VM on my server at home and use a VPN (Tailscale) to access it from outside my home.
However, because this command is not super easy to remember, you may install it as well:
Once downloaded and booted, you will be provided with a URL to open SB in your browser (spoiler alert: by default this will be http://localhost:3000 ).
deno install -f --name silverbullet -A --unstable https://get.silverbullet.md
This will create a `silverbullet` (feel free to replace `silverbullet` in this command with whatever you like) alias in your `~/.deno/bin` folder. Make sure this path is in your `PATH` environment variable.
This allows you to install Silver Bullet simply as follows:
silverbullet <pages-path>
By default, SB will bind to port `3000`, to use a different port use the
`--port` flag. By default SB doesnt offer any sort of authentication, to add basic password authentication, pass the `--password` flag.
Once downloaded and booted, SB will print out a URL to open SB in your browser (spoiler alert: by default this will be http://localhost:3000 ).
Thats it! Enjoy.
