## Cloud Edition™ :cloud:

Good news! Octocatsay is now baked into the [GitHub API](https://developer.github.com), so you don’t even need to install it. Simply point your browser (or `curl`) to to have our beloved mascot deliver an inspiring [GitHub Zen](https://api.github.com/zen) meditation, or append a custom message using the `?s=YOURMESSAGEHERE` query parameter [like this](https://api.github.com/octocat?s=BOOM!).

## On Premise (a.k.a. regular installation)

Run the following from a shell (presuming you use bash):

$ curl https://raw.github.com/cobyism/octocatsay/master/install.sh | $(which bash)
$ source ~/.bashrc

## TODO

- Create an `octocathink` version like `cowthink`.
- Do a better job on the ASCII, especially the negative space around the eyes.
