Description: Ledger helpers (ledgerhelpers)
        ============================
        
        This is a collection of small single-purpose programs to aid your accounting
        with [Ledger](https://github.com/ledger/ledger) (ledger-cli).  Think of it
        as the batteries that were never included with Ledger.
        
        Why should you use them?  Because:
        
        
        * All the ledgerhelpers have been designed with fast data entry in mind,
          and they will remember or evoke existing data as needed, to help you minimize
          typing and other drudgery.
        * They all have launcher icons in your desktop environment -- this makes it
          very easy to add icons or shortcuts for them, so you can run them on the spot.
        
        This package also contains a library with common functions that you can use
        in your project to make it easier to develop software compatible with Ledger.
        
        What can you do with these programs
        -----------------------------------
        
        * Enter transactions easily with
          [addtrans](https://github.com/Rudd-O/ledgerhelpers/blob/master/bin/addtrans).
        * Update your price quotes with
          [updateprices](https://github.com/Rudd-O/ledgerhelpers/blob/master/bin/updateprices).
        * Record multi-currency ATM withdrawals with
          [withdraw-cli](https://github.com/Rudd-O/ledgerhelpers/blob/master/bin/withdraw-cli).
        * Record FIFO stock or commodity sales with
          [sellstock-cli](https://github.com/Rudd-O/ledgerhelpers/blob/master/bin/sellstock-cli).
        * Interactively clear transactions with
          [cleartrans-cli](https://github.com/Rudd-O/ledgerhelpers/blob/master/bin/cleartrans-cli).
        * Keep your ledger chronologically sorted with
          [sorttrans-cli](https://github.com/Rudd-O/ledgerhelpers/blob/master/bin/sorttrans-cli).
        
        Usage and manuals
        -----------------
        
        * [How to add transactions with `addtrans`](doc/addtrans.md)
        
        How to download and install
        ---------------------------
        
        Here are instructions to install the very latest iteration of ledgerhelpers:
        
        On Linux systems that support RPM packages:
        
        * Obtain the package with `git clone https://github.com/Rudd-O/ledgerhelpers`
        * Change to the directory `cd ledgerhelpers`
        * Create an installable package with `python setup.py bdist_rpm`
        * Install the package with `sudo rpm -Uvh dist/*noarch.rpm`
        
        On other Linux systems:
        
        * Obtain the package with `git clone https://github.com/Rudd-O/ledgerhelpers`
        * Change to the directory `cd ledgerhelpers`
        * Install directly with `sudo python setup.py install`
        
        On Mac OS X, the `python setup.py install` routine appears to have some problems,
        however this should be reasonably easy to fix by excluding the files in
        `/usr/share/applications` from being installed.  I await for more information
        on how to mitigate this issue.  In the meantime, the programs in `bin/` can run
        from the source directory, but you still need to install the right dependencies,
        such as GTK+ 3 or later, and the Python GObject introspection library.
