Tocc is a tag-based file management system. It also includes a tag-based file system called Toccfs. The goal of Tocc is to provide a better system for classifying files, more flexible than classic file systems that are based on a tree of files and directories.
For more information about why Tocc is created, do you need it, its vision and what it can be used for, take a look at its web page:
Tocc is free software and releases under the terms of Gnu General Public License version 3. Refer to COPYING file for the full license.
Tocc consist of three components: libtocc, cli and toccfs. Each of
them have their own dependencies. For the full instruction of how to build each
of them, refer to the documentation inside each directory.
But if you want a quick start, here you go:
Inside libtocc directory, there's a script called bootstrap. Run it.
(If you have one of the released source package, this step is already done.)
Now run configure script, then make and make install.
Now, do these steps on cli and toccfs directories.
If you get the source code from Github repository, only the source of the documents is available. To build them, you need Sphinx. You can either install it from your distro's packages, or get it from its website:
Then, go to docs directory, in the root and inside each directory of the
repository, and run make html. Then, you can find the documentation as HTML
files, in the build\html directory inside the docs.
