# DEPENDENCY INSTALLATION:
# To get fileutils to work is a complicated process with quite a few dependencies:

# gem install fileutils

# If you have trouble installing rmagick...

# Download & install: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572
# sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/lib/
# brew link --overwrite imagemagick
# brew doctor
# Download & install: http://apst.stsci.edu/apt/external/downloads/installers/install.html

# sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev

# MAKING THIS COMMAND LINE EXECUTABLE:

# chmod a+x meeting_notes_generator.rb

require 'rubygems'
require 'fileutils'
require 'date'

# To figure out your working directory for fileutils, use the following CL command:
# Dir.pwd

meeting_name_options = "WT | APJC sync | DD AMER | DD EMEAR | DD APJC | forum"

# Automatically assess the date
meeting_date = Date.parse(Time.now.to_s).strftime("%m_%d_%Y")

# Match user input to possible meeting values.
