How to Install Betty for Styling and Formatting C Programming Files
Go to the Betty repository: https://github.com/alx-tools/Betty/
Click the green code button and copy the https url for the repository.
Proceed to clone the repository unto your own machine or the terminal you are using.
git clone https://github.com/alx-tools/Betty.git
After cloning, you run the ls command to see the list of directories in your current location where Betty would have been cloned to. You should find the directory Betty amongst them.
Open that directory with the change directory command cd
cd Betty
ls
You can also list out the files within the directory to have an idea of all the files in there. You are expected to see all the following files:
bettty-doc.pl betty-style.pl betty.sh install.sh LICENSE man README.md test.sh tests
The file of interest to you now is the install.sh
To install betty on your computer, run the command below:
sudo ./install.sh
This may require you to enter your password. Once you enter your password and hit ENTER, Betty will be installed on your computer.
After installing, you can now have access to the two commands: betty-style and betty-doc
When it comes to using these commands, you can use it with a single file or multiple files at the same time.
Examples:
betty-style file1 file2 file3 ...
betty-doc file1 file2 file3 ...

About the author
- Heya! 👋 I love helping people, and one of the best ways I do this is by sharing what I learn and build. I started as a pharmacist at a tertiary hospital in Northern Ghana, where I saw how much technology could improve healthcare. That sparked my interest in digital health. I taught myself to code, then joined the ALX Software Engineering program, which became a turning point. I went on to complete a Master of Health Informatics at the University of Toronto. Today I am a software and AI engineer and a health informatician, and I practise remotely as a Digital Health Pharmacist. I combine clinical experience with technical skills to build tools that solve real problems in health and beyond, and I write here about what I build and what I learn.

From today, I will be starting lessons on C programming in my ALX Software Engineering class and I look forward to sharing with you everything I learn through this series.
