So check the\n\u003e version you have via `choose -v` and compare it to the latest version in [the\n\u003e releases section](https://github.com/chipsenkbeil/choose/releases) .\n\n```bash\nbrew install choose-gui\n```\n\n### Build and Install Documentation\n\nFrom root of repository, run:\n\n```bash\nmake docs\nmake install-docs\n```\n\nYou can then issue `man choose` to read the manual.\n\nNote that this requires `pandoc` to be installed on your system to build the\nmanual page.\n\n## Usage\n\n### List the content from current directory\n\n```bash\nls | choose\n```\n\n### Open apps from the applications directories\n\n```bash\nls /Applications/ /Applications/Utilities/ /System/Applications/ /System/Applications/Utilities/ | \\\n    grep \u0027\\.app$\u0027 | \\\n    sed \u0027s/\\.app$//g\u0027 | \\\n    choose | \\\n    xargs -I {} open -a \"{}.app\"\n```\n\n### Query Passwords from password-store\n\nAssuming that your [passwordstore](https://www.passwordstore.org/) directory\nis `$HOME/.password-store`, the following will find a list of all the files\ncontaining passwords (using extension `.gpg`), strip off the pathing so you have\nsomething like `Personal/Coding/github.com`, present them as options using\n`choose`, and then if an option is selected this will run `pass show -c OPTION`\nto put the password into your clipboard.\n\n```bash\nfind $HOME/.passw",
