# Tacoscript

### At a glance

Tacoscript is a declarative scripting language for the easy automation of tasks. It uses human-readable YAML as input files. The interpreter consists of a single static binary available for almost any operating system. [Read more](https://github.com/openrport/tacoscript).

### Install Tacoscript

Only for Rport versions before 0.5.0 tacoscript is not installed by default. You must install it manually. But you can use the RPort script execution to perform the installation from the RPort web interface.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://kb.openrport.io/digging-deeper/commands-and-scripts/tacoscript.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
