...all from the terminal.

Note: There is no "make install" recipe, but if you want to be able to use popcorn
without being in the directory just move it into /usr/bin
.
Popcorn will by default look in $HOME/.config/popcorn
or $XDG_CONFIG_COME
for a file called "config". There is an example file provided in share
. The current configurable options are:
- The directiory to find movies in
