This includes iOS Safari, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Windows 8 and 10, and possibly some other browsers.
# Getting Started
To get started with favicon generator you need to make sure [ImageMagick](https://imagemagick.org/index.php) and the latest [GNU make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/) software are installed and present in your PATH environment variable.
# Configuration
By default, makefile uses `magick` filename for ImageMagick software, but you can change that by specifying a new name as a parameter for make
```
make CC=<executable name>
```
or by changing the following line in a makefile
```
CC = magick
```
Also, the default image filename make is looking for is `source.png`, and you can change that either passing the new filename as a parameter
```
make FILE=<image filename>
```
or by changing the following line
```
FILE ?= <image filename>
```
# Usage
After everything is configured, simply place your image in the same directory as makefile, and then simply run `make`. It will generate the following directory structure
```
dist
│ source.html
└───public
│ apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png
│ apple-touch-icon.png
│ favicon.ico
│ manifest.json
└───icons

`source.html` contains HTML code that needs to be pasted in your document's head.
`public` folder must be the same as your project's public folder, you can simply copy-paste it into your project (make sure you don't have one of these generated files already in your project, such as `manifest.json`).
