Rebound is a command-line tool that instantly fetches Stack Overflow results when you get a compiler error. Just use the `rebound` command to execute your file.
__Featured in:__ [50 Most Popular Python Projects in 2018](https://boostlog.io/@bily809/50-most-popular-python-projects-in-2018-5aea8e1c47018500491f4361), the top of [r/Python](https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/8cwq72/i_made_a_commandline_tool_that_instantly_fetches/), [awesome-cli-apps](https://github.com/agarrharr/awesome-cli-apps), [awesome-shell](https://github.com/alebcay/awesome-shell), [terminals-are-sexy](https://github.com/k4m4/terminals-are-sexy), and [awesome-mac](https://github.com/jaywcjlove/awesome-mac).
## Installation
>Requires Python 3.0 or higher.
Rebound works on MacOS, Linux, and Windows (if you use Cygwin), with binary downloads available for [every release.](https://github.com/shobrook/rebound/releases) You can also install it with pip:
