ddgr -- Web Search via DuckDuckGo

Search the web from the terminal using ddgr and parse structured JSON results. This gives you access to current information beyond your training data.

Check and install ddgr

Before running any search, verify ddgr is available. If it isn't installed, install it automatically -- the user asked you to search the web, so getting the tool in place is part of fulfilling that request.

command -v ddgr >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "ddgr is installed" || echo "ddgr not found"

If ddgr is not found, detect the platform and install. Try the platform-native package manager first because it handles dependencies and updates automatically. Fall back to pip only if the native method is unavailable or fails.

macOS:

brew install ddgr
