GUI mode only supports x11, so using it in wayland might result in a blurry, glitchy or pixelated interface and requires xwayland.\n\n## How to use\n\nOnce downloaded, you can run Aya with the command `java -jar aya.jar`.\n\nTo see a full list of options, run `java -jar aya.jar -h`.\n\nAya also makes use of a configuration file, located in `~/.config/aya/aya.conf`. This config overrides Aya's default behavior, but any CLI argument you pass to it will also override the respective config's settings.\n\n### Supported image formats\n* PNG\n* JPG\n* AVIF\n* BMP\n\n## Build from source\n\nBuilding Aya requires my own build tool [Yuuka](https://github.com/spacebanana420/yuuka).\n\nThe command `yuuka` as seen below applies if you have it installed system-wide. If you do not, then replace `yuuka` with `java -jar yuuka.jar`.\n\n### Getting the source code\n\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/spacebanana420/aya.git\ncd aya\n```\n\n### Building a JAR file\n\n```\nyuuka package\n```\n\n### Installing Aya system-wide (run as root)\nThis installs Aya in /usr/local/bin so it can be accessed from anywhere by running `aya`.\n\n```\nyuuka install\n```\n\n### Build separate .class files\n\nIf for some reason you don't want Aya built as a JAR and you want to have the raw bytecode:\n\n```\nyuuka build\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fspacebanana420%2Faya","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fspacebanana420%2Faya","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fspacebanana420%2Faya/lists"}
