System requirements

GemView requires Python 3 and the Urwid library. Both are readily available in most Linux and BSD distributions, or else from the python.org website and the Python Package Index, respectively.

A terminal emulator that supports ANSI control codes is required.

Usage

gemview.py [ -h | -v | <file or directory> ]

Links can be clicked, but you need a keyboard to navigate. Shortcuts:

GemView can also be imported as a Python module and used that way.

Status

As of 3 February 2023, GemView appears to work reliably, but needs more testing. To follow external links, a graphical desktop and browser are recommended.
