## Install

You'll need [ImageMagick](http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php) and [ghostscript](http://www.ghostscript.com/) installed.

The easiest way is to use [Homebrew](https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew).

    brew install ghostscript

    brew install --build-from-source imagemagick

Then install the gem!

    gem install memegen

## Usage

To see a list of available images:

    $ memegen --list

    a_dog

    p_obama

    ...

To generate an image:

    $ memegen a_dog "Eat Crayons" "Poop Rainbows"

    /tmp/meme-1234567890.jpg

    $

You only have to supply one piece of text:

    $ memegen a_dog "" "AWESOME"

    /tmp/meme-1234567890.jpg

    $

You can also use URLs for one time use memes:

    $ memegen http://example.com/stupid.jpg "Generated" "From a URL"

    /tmp/meme-1234567890.jpg

    $

## Adding your own images

You can add images to your local `~/.memegen` folder:

    $ ls ~/.memegen

    my_custom_image.png

    $ memegen a_dog "Hello" "Campfire world" --campfire

It will prompt you for your subdomain, token, and room name the first time.

## Upload to GroupMe

If you have a [GroupMe](http://groupme.com/) account and token, you can automatically upload your image:

    $ memegen a_dog "Hello" "GroupMe world" --groupme
