#### A custom pager that outputs lines with a delay, allowing control over pacing.

**Introduction**

Slomore is a pager (like `more`, or `less`) that slows down screen output.

This is useful when making tutorials where command-line tools spew lots of output that scrolls by too fast. If you're capturing the output for use in a video (or gif) without slomo, your video recorder may 'miss' frames, making the output appear 'jumpy'.

**Usage**

Pipe output to slomore.

`find /bin | slomore`

Change output speed.

```
export SLOMORE_LINES_PER_SECOND=20
 find /bin | slomore
```

Slower...

```
export SLOMORE_SECONDS_PER_LINE=2
find /bin | slomore
```

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install Slow More.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
