Details

The package contains one main function beep, check it out to see what it does. For sound on Windows and MacOS beepr depends on the audio package. For sound on Linux beepr depends on that either the paplay utility from the Pulse Audio system, the aplay utility from the ALSA system, or VLC media player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html) is installed and on the PATH. Chances are that you already have one of these.
