# node-screencapture

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/uiureo/node-screencapture.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/uiureo/node-screencapture)

Take a screenshot of your desktop interactively.

Available in OSX, Linux, FreeBSD and Windows.

``` javascript

var screencapture = require('screencapture')

screencapture(function (err, imagePath) {

  // then you have imagePath as png.

  //

  // When an user exits screencapture without taking a screenshot,

  // imagePath == null

})

```

You can specify an output file path.

``` javascript

screencapture('/path/to/output.png', function (err, imagePath) {

  // imagePath is '/path/to/output.png' or null

})

```

You can use env named `CAPTURE_COMMAND` for capture.

This is formatted with `%s` for file path; `CAPTURE_COMMAND="shutter -s -e -o %s"`.

## Installation

```

npm install -g screencapture

```

In Linux, you need to install imagemagick.
