    • Gen will find what you have on your machine, and load what it can.
    • Gen reports to you what you are missing: packages and versions.
Quality
  • Every command is tested.
  • Test suite is comprehensive with 978 tests.
  • Command inputs are checked for valid format. Errors in input format are reported (e.g. we tell you if you try to add a non-numerical value).
