### From Source
First, make sure you have `curl(1)` and `handlr` installed. Then, clone this
repository and move the `xdg-sanity/` folder into `/etc` and `xdg-sanity.sh` to
`xdg-sanity` wherever your operating system stores locally-installed binaries.
This is usually `/usr/local/bin`.
Then, create a `xdg-sanity.desktop` file either manually or with `gendesk(1)`,
placing it, also, where your OS stores locally-installed `.desktop` files,
usually `/usr/local/applications`. Set your default web browser to be that
`.desktop` file.
Now, add your default web browser to `/etc/xdg-sanity/xdg-sanity.conf` so the
script can forward links to it.
