cowsay : this is a wrapper for cowsay
coreutils : the main script [file: ponysay] uses stty, cut, ls, cat, sort, readlink, pwd, head and tail
sed : used to remove .pony from pony names when running `ponysay -l` and `ponysay -L`
perl : required to run `ponysay -l` and `ponysay -L`
Optional runtime dependencies
=============================
ponyquotes4ponysay : for support of My Little Pony quotes with associated pony
-- Included as a submodule, and can easily be removed by edit Makefile.
kmsponies4ponysay : improving TTY support under KMS support
-- Available for Arch:ers in AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=61111)
-- and on github at https://github.com/maandree/ponyquotes4ponysay
Package building dependencies
=============================
gcc : used for compiling ponysaytruncater.c
gzip : used for compressing manpages
make : required to run the make script
coreutils : make script uses install, unlink, rm, ln, mkdir and cp
tex
texinfo : required to build info manual (tex is required by texinfo)
Dependencies for pony providers
===============================
make : required to run `make -B ttyponies`
coreutils : ln and readlink are used in the ttyponies subscript
bash : used in the ttyponies subscript
util-say : used by `make ttyponies` to build ttyponies from xterm ponies
-- Available for Arch:ers in AUR as util-say-git (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=60241)
-- and on github at https://github.com/maandree/util-say
Installation on GNU/Linux (or other Unix implementations)
=========================================================
Before installing ponysay, make sure your system have the packages listed under
[Required runtime dependencies] and [Package building dependencies] installed.
Download or clone the project. bleeding edge: https://github.com/erkin/ponysay/tarball/master
release: https://github.com/erkin/ponysay/tags
In the terminal, `cd` into the ponysay directory and execute `make && make install`.
This will install ponysay into the $PREFIX (/usr by default, meaning you may need to
run `make install` as root, e.g. by running `sudo make install`.)
In order to use ponysay, run: ponysay "I am just the cutest pony!"
Or if you have a specific pony in your mind: ponysay -f pinkie "Partay!~"
Run `info ponysay`, `man 6 ponysay` (man ponysay) or `ponysay -h` for more information.
A Spanish manual is available: man -L es 6 ponysay
Pony fortune on terminal startup
================================
This requires that you have fortune utility installed. You can install it from your
distributions package repository, it should be named fortune or fortune-mod.
Edit your ~/.bashrc and this line [to the end should work]:
fortune | ponysay
Now every time you open a terminal a pony should give your fortune.
If you wany ponified fortuned the are some stuff you can try:
A gigantic sed script:
http://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlelinux/comments/srixi/using_ponysay_with_a_ponified_fortune_warning/
ponypipe:
https://github.com/maandree/ponypipe
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=60228
pinkie-pie:
https://github.com/maandree/pinkie-pie
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=60229
Pony quotes
===========
Running `ponysay -q` will give you a random pony saying one it its quote from MLP:FiM.
Add one or more argument after `-q` to sepecify a set of ponies from which one will be selected randomly.
When running `ponysay -l` or `ponysay -L` the ponies which have quotes will be printed bold or bright (depending on terminal).
Ponies in TTY (Linux VT)
========================
If you have a custom colour palette edit your ~/.bashrc and add:
if [ "$TERM" = "linux" ]; then
function ponysay
{
exec ponysay "$@"
#RESET PALETTE HERE
}
fi
FAQ
===
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: https://github.com/erkin/ponysay/issues/1
Q: You are missing (my-favourite-pony)!
A: Ask and we'll add!
https://github.com/erkin/ponysay/issues
Q: Which programs do you use to generate the pony files?
A: The pony files are actually mostly a bunch of selected browser
ponies that are generated into cow files via img2xterm
https://github.com/rossy2401/img2xterm
or util-say.
https://github.com/maandree/util-say
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=60241
Providing ponies
================
Most pony images are browser ponies or desktop ponies,
browser ponies is a port of desktop ponies, implementing it in JavaScript.
Browser ponies: https://github.com/panzi/Browser-Ponies
Desktop ponies: http://desktop-pony-team.deviantart.com/
There is also a collection of ponies that are not yet pixelated in a Java reimplementation:
https://github.com/maandree/unisay/tree/develop/dev/newponies
New ponies can be created from regular images by using img2xterm
https://github.com/rossy2401/img2xterm
or util-say
https://github.com/maandree/util-say
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=60241
Using util-say:
img2ponysay -c 1 -2 -- SOURCE_IMAGE > PONY_FILE
PONY_FILE should end with .pony and be localed in ponies/
Omit -2 if the source image does not use double pixel size.
(`-c 1` is no longer required.)
For more information see https://github.com/maandree/util-say/wiki/img2ponysay
When a pony is added please also add a ttypony version, but if you don't please
state so in the pull request so we do not miss the create it; the simplest way to
do this is to run `make -B ttyponies` after adding the ponies to ponies/.
Running `make -B ttyponies` will build (or rebuild) all ttyponies with a pony present
in ponies/, and creates all needed symlinks.
To be able to run `make -B ttyponies` you must have the packages listed under
[Dependencies for pony providers].
