⚠️ Supports only png images

Installation

1. Clone the repository and then navigate to it.
2. Run npm install to install the dependencies.
3. Run npm install -g . to install the CLI.
   

⚠️ This might cause an error which can be resolved easily by using sudo with the command, however, using sudo with npm is not recommended because it might cause permission issues later. So instead put the code below in your .bashrc file and then run the above command again.

npm set prefix ~/.npm
PATH="$HOME/.npm/bin:$PATH"
PATH="./node_modules/.bin:$PATH"

4. Now you are good to go and can use the CLI globally!

Type obscr or obscr --help to get started.
