ponysay - A cowsay wrapper with ponies.

The pony files are desktop/browser ponies converted using img2xterm.

Installation on Linux

If you do not already have cowsay you will need to install it

apt-get install cowsay

Download this project. In the terminal navagate to the ponysay folder and run

sudo make

This will install ponysay into the /usr directory to use ponysay run

ponysay "I am just the cutest pony"

This requires that you have the fortune command installed

apt-get install fortune

Edit your ~/.bashrc and add this to the end of the file

fortune | ponysay

Now every time you open a terminal a pony should give your fortune

Q: The output looks like a mess in (TTY/PuTTY/other)!

A: Unfortunately, there's nothing much we can do about it. See issue 1.

Q: You are missing (my-favourite-pony)!

A: Ask and we'll add!

Q: Which programs do you use to generate the pony files?

A: The pony files are actually browser ponies that are generated into cow files via img2xterm.
