TL;DR

dictconv convert <stardict_xxxxx.tar.bz2> -i -v Building would take some time, please be patient.

Background

A Node.js version of DictUnifier. The original repo is no longer maintained, while I really want a converter for the Stardicts.

Require Node.js >= 12 to support ES module.

Installation

yarn global add @ritou11/dictconv or npm i -g @ritou11/dictconv

You'll also need gunzip, tar,cp,mkdir in your system path. They should be installed with MacOSX already.
