# All-in-one favicon generator
|
|
Generates all necessary favicons for your website.
|
|
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 `convert` file of 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>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Using bash
|
|
You use bash script `generate.sh` to use the program anywhere on your system. First of, you have to areat a symbolic link to an executable using the following command
|
|
```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
|
|
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
|
|
```
|
|

└── source.html
|
|
```
|
|
`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`).
