About The Project

Foto is a simple image viewer written in C. It simply shows an image to the user, nothing more nothing less. It's designed to be used in scripts so there are no keybinds. You can specify the position or size the window intially appears at, and the background colour.

Installing

Arch-based

If you use an AUR helper, use it instead, e.g paru -S foto or paru -S foto-git

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/foto.git # use foto-git.git instead for latest commit
cd foto
makepkg -si

Debian-based

sudo apt install build-essential libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev pandoc
git clone https://github.com/mekb-turtle/foto.git
cd foto
git checkout "$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)" # checkout to latest tag, omit for latest commit
sudo make install RELEASE=1

Other distros

Find the following dependencies in your package manager or elsewhere:

• sdl2
• sdl2_image

git clone https://github.com/mekb-turtle/foto.git
cd foto
git checkout "$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)" # checkout to latest tag, omit for latest commit
