  "github_readme_excerpt": "# Catimg\n\nRenders images in the terminal.\n\n![mewtwo](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/664177/10267523/f81296de-6a97-11e5-99d0-d2124bd6a9e3.png)\n\n`catimg` is a little program written in C with no dependencies that prints images in terminal.\nIt supports JPEG, PNG and GIF formats. This program was originally a script that\ndid the same by using ImageMagick `convert`.\n\n## Installation\n\nHomebrew\n\n```sh\nbrew install catimg\n```\n\nArch Linux\n\n```sh\nyaourt -S catimg\n```\n\nFedora 25 and later\n\n```sh\ndnf -y install catimg\n```\n\n## Building\n\n```sh\ncmake .\nmake install\n```\n\n## Script Dependencies\n\nIn order to use the script you need:\n\n- ImageMagick 6.6.0-4 2012-08-17 Q16 (Not tested with earlier versions)\n- shell with 256 colors support ( **change the** `#!/usr/bin/env bash` **by\n  yours**). In OS X you just have to update the bash version using\n  [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/) (or any other method).\n\n## Examples\n\n![pikachu gif](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/664177/10122393/6846151e-6518-11e5-9a21-9be0c0765267.gif)\n\n## High Resolution vs Low Resolution\n\nBy using unicode characters catimg will try to display pictures in higher resolution. You can force the resolution with the `-r` option.\n\n![cats](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/664177/10267481/da74d106-6a96-11e5-937d-efd452e53170.png)\n![catslow](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/664177/10267494/07464a48-6a97-11e5-813e-0645f56b4c4f.png)\n\n## Differences between Script and C version\n\nScript version is **way more** accurate concerning colors but **considerably**\nslower.\n\n## Contributing\n\nI\u0027m open to any contributions that helps `catimg`! If you find bugs, please\ncreate an issue or do a pull request :smile:.\n\n## License\n\n[MIT](http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)\n\nCopyright (c) Eduardo San Martin Morote\n",
