pictate¶ ↑
Pictate is a pointless command line tool that attempts to describe a picture you give it. Or rather, Google search by image does. I created it because this was funkier as a first gem than the boring traditional “Hello World!”.
Usage:
$ pictate /path/to/image [options]
Dependencies¶ ↑
-
Java to run the Selenium server (details below)
Selenium¶ ↑
Unfortunately Google uses a lot of Javascript and as such this gem uses browser automation in the form of Selenium to fetch the result. You may specify a path to the server, or it’ll be downloaded and stored in the ext directory of the gem.
To specify the server:
$ pictate /path/to/image -s /path/to/server/jar
