<h2>ponysay</h2>
<p><strong>ponysay</strong> - A <a href="http://www.nog.net/~tony/warez/cowsay.shtml">cowsay</a> wrapper with ponies.</p>
<p>The pony files are <a href="http://web.student.tuwien.ac.at/%7Ee0427417/browser-ponies/ponies.html">desktop/browser ponies</a> converted using <a href="https://github.com/rossy2401/img2xterm">img2xterm</a>.</p>
<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/xOJbE.png" alt="Derp">
Today your terminal, tomorrow the world!</p>
<h2>Installation on Linux (or other Unix)</h2>
<p>If you do not already have <code>cowsay</code> you will need to install it</p>
<pre><code>apt-get install cowsay # assuming dpkg
</code></pre>
<p><a href="https://github.com/erkin/ponysay/downloads">Download</a> the latest project. In the terminal, <code>cd</code> into the ponysay directory and run</p>
<pre><code>sudo make
</code></pre>
<p>This will install ponysay into the $PREFIX (<code>/usr</code> by default). In order to use ponysay, run</p>
<pre><code>ponysay "I am just the cutest pony"
</code></pre>
<p>Or if you have a specific pony in your mind:</p>
<pre><code>ponysay -f pinkie "Partay!~"
</code></pre>
<h3>Pony fortune on terminal startup</h3>
<p>This requires that you have the <code>fortune</code> utility installed</p>
<pre><code>apt-get install fortune
</code></pre>
<p>You can try <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlelinux/comments/srixi/using_ponysay_with_a_ponified_fortune_warning/">this</a> script to ponify fortunes.</p>
<p>Edit your <code>~/.bashrc</code> and add this to the end of the file</p>
<pre><code>fortune | ponysay
</code></pre>
<p>Now every time you open a terminal a pony should give your fortune</p>
<h3>Ponies in TTY (Linux VT)</h3>
<p>If you have a custom colour palette edit your <code>~/.bashrc</code> and add</p>
<pre><code>if [ "$TERM" = "linux" ]; then
function ponysay
{
exec ponysay $@
#RESET PALETTE HERE
}
fi
</code></pre>
<h2>Installation on Microsoft™ Windows®</h2>
<p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/2nP5N.png">¯\_(ツ)_/¯</a></p>
<h2>FAQ</h2>
<p><strong>Q:</strong> The output looks like a mess in <em>(TTY/PuTTY/other)</em>!</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Unfortunately, there's nothing much we can do about terminals not supporting colour sequences.
PuTTY disables UTF-8 by default, enabling it should solve the problem.
See <a href="https://github.com/erkin/ponysay/issues/1">issue 1</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Q:</strong> You are missing <em>(my-favourite-pony)</em>!</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Ask and we'll add!</p>
<p><strong>Q:</strong> Which programs do you use to generate the pony files?</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> The pony files are actually a bunch of selected <a href="http://web.student.tuwien.ac.at/%7Ee0427417/browser-ponies/ponies.html">browser ponies</a> that are generated into cow files via <a href="https://github.com/rossy2401/img2xterm">img2xterm</a>.</p>
