coinmon is an interactive command-line interface (CLI) tool designed for cryptocurrency enthusiasts to quickly check real-time market data directly from their Linux terminal.

It fetches data from reliable sources, presenting essential information such as current price, 24-hour percentage change, 24-hour volume, and market capitalization for a wide range of cryptocurrencies. Users can customize the display, sort results, and filter by currency, making it a convenient and efficient tool for quick market overviews without needing to open a web browser.

coinmon requires Node.js and npm for installation and execution.
It relies on external APIs (primarily CoinMarketCap) for data, meaning its functionality depends on the availability and stability of these APIs, and potential rate limits.
Data presented might have a slight delay compared to real-time exchange feeds, making it suitable for informational purposes rather than high-frequency trading decisions.

coinmon is typically installed globally using npm (Node Package Manager). If you have Node.js and npm installed, you can install coinmon with the command:
npm install -g coinmon

coinmon primarily fetches its cryptocurrency market data from the CoinMarketCap API, a widely recognized and comprehensive source for crypto prices, market caps, and trading volumes.

coinmon emerged as a popular open-source command-line tool during the cryptocurrency boom, addressing the need for quick, terminal-based access to market data.
Developed in Node.js, it leverages the npm ecosystem for easy global installation and cross-platform compatibility, reflecting the growing demand for accessible crypto tools.
