<p align="center"><i>3 modes of nnn (light with filter, detail, du analyzer) with memory usage. Click for a demo video.</i></a></p>
-`nnn` is smooth... like butter. It's one of the fastest and most lightweight file managers, thanks to a [highly optimized](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/wiki/performance-factors) code. And yet, it doesn't lack in features!

It runs on Linux, macOS, Raspberry Pi, BSD, Cygwin, Linux subsystem for Windows and Termux on Android.
-`nnn` works seamlessly with DEs and GUI utilities. Several plugins are available to extend its power. New plugins can be added easily.

**[Quickstart](#quickstart)** and see how `nnn` simplifies long desktop sessions.
- Disk usage analyzer (block/apparent)
- File picker, (neo)vim plugin
- Navigation
- - *Navigate-as-you-type* with auto-select dir, *wild load*
- - 4 contexts (_aka_ tabs _aka_ workspaces)

#### Utility dependencies
+The following table is a complete list. Some of the utilities may be installed by default (e.g. desktop opener, file, coreutils, findutils) and some may not be required by all users (e.g. sshfs, vlock, advcpmv).
+
| Dependency | Operation |
| --- | --- |
| xdg-open (Linux), open(1) (macOS), cygstart (Cygwin) | desktop opener |
| trash-cli | trash files (default: delete) |
| mediainfo / exiftool | multimedia file details |
| atool / patool ([integration](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/wiki/hacking-nnn#integrate-patool)) | create, list and extract archives |
-| fzy | app launcher, subtree search |
| vidir (from moreutils) | batch rename dir entries |
| sshfs, fusermount(3) | mount, unmount remote over SSHFS |
| vlock (Linux), bashlock (macOS), lock(1) (BSD) | terminal locker |
2. Configure [cd on quit](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/wiki/hacking-nnn#cd-on-quit).
3. Optionally open all text files in `$EDITOR` (fallback vi): `export NNN_USE_EDITOR=1`
4. Run `n`.
-5. To enable the GUI app launcher with a fuzzy drop-down selection menu [`nlaunch`](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/tree/master/scripts/nlaunch), drop it somewhere in your `$PATH`.
-6. Don't memorize keys. Arrows, <kbd>/</kbd> and <kbd>q</kbd> suffice. Press <kbd>?</kbd> for help on keyboard shortcuts anytime.
+5. For additional functionality [setup plugins](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/tree/master/plugins#installing-plugins) and the GUI app launcher [`nlaunch`](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/tree/master/scripts/nlaunch).
