## Getting Started
2019-07-09 10:34:54 +03:00
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
2019-11-17 22:55:25 +02:00
By default, makefile uses `convert` file of ImageMagick software, but you can change that by specifying a new name as a parameter for make
2021-10-17 18:52:06 +03:00
```make
2019-07-09 10:34:54 +03:00
make CC=<executable name>
```
or by changing the following line in a makefile
2021-10-17 19:41:34 +03:00
```make
CC = convert
2019-07-09 10:34:54 +03:00
```
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
2021-10-17 19:41:34 +03:00
```bash
2021-10-17 18:52:06 +03:00
make SOURCE=<image filename>
2019-07-09 10:34:54 +03:00
```
or by changing the following line
2021-10-17 19:41:34 +03:00
```make
2021-10-17 18:52:06 +03:00
SOURCE ?= <image filename>
2019-07-09 10:34:54 +03:00
```
2021-10-17 18:52:06 +03:00
## Using bash
2020-07-17 05:55:22 +03:00
You use bash script `generate.sh` to use the program anywhere on your system. First of, you have to create a symbolic link to an executable using the following command
2019-11-17 22:55:25 +02:00
```bash
$ ln -s <path to program>/generate.sh ~/.local/bin/webicongen
# example: ln -s ~/Programs/Favicons_generation/generate.sh ~/.local/bin/webicongen
```
then you can use it in such a way
```bash
$ webicongen <image> <output dir>
```
The output directory will be created automatically.

## Usage
2019-07-09 10:34:54 +03:00
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
```
