ranger/ranger: A VIM-inspired filemanager for the console

Ranger is a console file manager with VI key bindings. It provides a minimalistic and nice curses interface with a view on the directory hierarchy. It ships with rifle, a file launcher that is good at automatically finding out which program to use for what file type.

For mc aficionados there's also the multi-pane viewmode.

This file describes ranger and how to get it to run. For instructions on the usage, please read the man page (man ranger in a terminal). See HACKING.md for development-specific information.

For configuration, check the files in ranger/config/ or copy the default config to ~/.config/ranger with ranger --copy-config (see instructions).

The examples/ directory contains several scripts and plugins that demonstrate how ranger can be extended or combined with other programs. These files can be found in the git repository or in /usr/share/doc/ranger.

A note to packagers: Versions meant for packaging are listed in the changelog on the website.

For general usage:

For enhanced file previews (with scope.sh):

Use the package manager of your operating system to install ranger. You can also install ranger through PyPI: pip install ranger-fm. However, it is recommended to use pipx instead (to benefit from isolated environments). Use pipx run --spec ranger-fm ranger to install and run ranger in one step.

Check current version:

Note that you don't have to install ranger; you can simply run ranger.py.

To install ranger manually:

This translates roughly to:

sudo python setup.py install --optimize=1 --record=install_log.txt

This also saves a list of all installed files to install_log.txt, which you can use to uninstall ranger.

After starting ranger, you can use the Arrow Keys or h j k l to navigate, Enter to open a file or q to quit. The third column shows a preview of the current file. The second is the main column and the first shows the parent directory.

Ranger can automatically copy default configuration files to ~/.config/ranger if you run it with the switch --copy-config=( rc | scope | ... | all ). See ranger --help for a description of that switch. Also check ranger/config/ for the default configuration.
