# mdlt - Metadelta CLI **A command-line utility for quick math.** ### What is it? Mdlt is a lightweight command line tool that lets you perform arithmetic and symbolic math operations right from the terminal. ![mdlt demo](mdlt.gif) ### Why this? Well, nobody wants to boot Python, import SymPy, and type extraneous commands just to find a derivative. And, finding a decent website for math is quite a pain. *Mdlt just makes it too easy to do math!* ### How do I get started? To install mdlt, simply run: ``` npm i -g mdlt ``` That's it! Now you can begin implementing Metadelta's powerful functionality right from the terminal! ### Okay and how do I use it? Commands are formatted as such: ``` mdlt [operation] [expression] ``` Which means that you'd like metadelta to perform the given operation on the following expression. An example of this is: ``` mdlt derive x^2 ``` which returns: `2 x`. *Note:* for more reliable processing, wrap the expression in double quotes. For more commands, Mdlt's documentation can be found [here](https://github.com/metadelta/mdlt/blob/master/DOCS.md). ______________________________________________ Like mdlt?
