  • clone https://github.com/Conservatory/openstv to a directory on your computer.
  • download election.sh and run.sh
  • Change line 4 of election.sh to the /openstv/ folder in the openstv code you cloned, and line 4 on run.sh to the place election.sh is stored.
  • Change line 5 of election.sh to the site you want to use, and the ID of the election you want to check.
  • Set both files as executable (chmod +x election.sh, chmod +x run.sh)
  • run run.sh
  • wait for the results!

I could probably make the variables suck less, but it's 11:47am here and I woke up at like 6pm yesterday. Yeah. It works, so it works.
