  "github_readme_excerpt": "# terminal-notifier\n\n[![GitHub release](https://img.shields.io/github/release/julienXX/terminal-notifier.svg)](https://github.com/julienXX/terminal-notifier/releases)\n\nterminal-notifier is a command-line tool to send macOS User Notifications,\nwhich are available on macOS 10.10 and higher.\n\n\n## News\n\n[alerter](https://github.com/vjeantet/alerter) features were merged in terminal-notifier 1.7. This led to some issues and even more issues in the 1.8 release. We decided with [Val\u00e8re Jeantet](https://github.com/vjeantet) to rollback this merge.\n\nFrom now on terminal-notifier won\u0027t have the sticky notification feature nor the actions buttons. If you need them please use [alerter](https://github.com/vjeantet/alerter). I also want to follow [semver](http://semver.org) hence this latest version starts at 2.0.0.\n\nSticking to two smaller specialized tools will hopefully make them easier to maintain and less error prone.\n\n\n## Caveats\n\n* It is currently packaged as an application bundle, because `NSUserNotification`\n  does not work from a \u2018Foundation tool\u2019. [radar://11956694](radar://11956694)\n\n* If you intend to package terminal-notifier with your app to distribute it on the Mac App Store, please use 1.5.2; version 1.6.0+ uses a private method override, which is not allowed in the App Store Guidelines.\n\n* If you\u0027re using macOS \u003c 10.10 you should use terminal-notifier 1.6.3.\n\n* If you\u0027re looking for sticky notifications or more actions on a notification please use [alerter](https://github.com/vjeantet/alerter)\n\n## Download\n\nPrebuilt binaries are available from the\n[releases section](https://github.com/julienXX/terminal-notifier/releases).\n\nOr if you want to use this from\n[Ruby](https://github.com/julienXX/terminal-notifier/tree/master/Ruby), you can\ninstall it through RubyGems:\n\n```\n$ [sudo] gem install terminal-notifier\n```\n\nYou can also install it via [Homebrew](https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew):\n```\n$ brew install terminal-notifier\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n```\n$ ./terminal-notifier.app",
