Diakonos 0.8.8

Diakonos is a free and open source customizable, usable console-based text editor.

NOTE: To install Diakonos on you will have to open a Terminal window, navigate to the directory where you have downloaded the Diakonos gem and enter the following command (without the quotes): "sudo gem install diakonos".
