This is already used in the setup script, so you should't need it.
The following are only for installation without Homebrew, DON'T USE them if you installed
battery-cli with homebrew ( brew install battery-cli ):
battery update
update the battery utility to the latest version
battery reinstall
reinstall the battery utility to the latest version (reruns the installation script)
battery uninstall
enable charging, remove the smc tool, and the battery script
This is the Fork of awesome battery. I create this version because I don't like at all Electron and I use it only for scrict necessary app. Since the original version use Electron only as wrapper for the cli version, I've made the cli only version.
For now it will be only a tap, since from homebrew docs they probably won't accept a cli-only version of a cask.
A Internet Connection is required to download the version and keep it update
