im2a

An image to ASCII converter, made for 256-color terminals.

The idea came after jp2a for its lack of 256-color terminal support and its JPEG format restriction.

Dependencies

ImageMagick - a great library for image manipulation. Chances are you already have it installed.

Installation

Just like any other program that uses Autotools:

./bootstrap
./configure
make install

MacOS X

If you're using Homebrew just type this in your terminal:

brew install tzvetkoff/extras/im2a
