This command refreshes your package list and installs the essential packages for Jump.

Step 2: Download and Install Jump

Once dependencies are set, download Jump from its GitHub repository using this command:

git clone https://github.com/daledavies/jump.git && cd jump && make && sudo make install

This command clones Jump's repository, navigates to it, compiles, and installs it on your system.

Step 3: Configure Jump

Post-installation, add the following command to your shell's startup file to integrate Jump:

If you use Bash, add this to ~/.bashrc; for Zsh, add it to ~/.zshrc.
