Other GNU/Linux distributions

Requirements:

  • xclip (X11) or wl-clipboard (Wayland)

To install it:

Depending on your session type (X11 or Wayland) you will need the appropriate package for copying items to the clipboard. It is recommended that you install both.

xclip (X11):

# Arch:
sudo pacman -S xclip

# Fedora:
sudo dnf install xclip

wl-clipboard (Wayland):

# Arch Linux:
sudo pacman -S wl-clipboard

# Fedora:
sudo dnf install wl-clipboard

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/GEROGIANNIS/Limoji ~/Limoji

Add Limoji's directory to your path (NOTE: You must restart your session after that):

echo export PATH="~/Limoji:$PATH" | tee -a ~/.bashrc

You can update Limoji using:

cd ~/Limoji && git pull

📄 Usage

limoji <emoticon-name>

Example:

$ limoji happy
  [✓] happy was copied to the clipboard successfully:
  :‑)
