Then, I ran this command:

seq 125 666 | sed 's/./& /g;/[0789]/d' | shuf | awk 'NR==1{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)printf("%c ",$i+0x0267f)}' | sed 's/ $//' | imgout -f Symbola

I got this message:

bash: imgout: command not found

I tried the following command:

yum whatprovides '*/imgout'

I got:

My question is: how can I install imgout?

Answer 1

I think that imgout might just be an alias for some variant of this

convert -font Symbola -pointsize 64 -fill black -background white caption:"`tee`" caption.png

Note that you need the Symbola font. Which was corrupted in my Kubuntu (even after reinstall), causing some problems testing.

The script you give produces 3 symbols, they are then rendered in that font and output to an image file that I've called caption.png. On testing this script makes an image of 3 dice with 4, 3, 2 stacked vertically.

For completeness the only reference online to an actual program imgout were uses in Tweets (eg by @eban) and a plugin for graphicsmagick. There is no reference to imgout on imagemagick.org website other than as a placeholder for an output image file.

Answer 2

This tool is not part of the ImageMagick upstream. (Source: ImageMagick site.) That's why it's not part of this package.

Answer 3

You should be able what's inside the installed packages (and thus, if the executable is included and at which path it is) by using rpm -ql $PACKAGE_NAME.

If you want to know which package contains a certain file then you can do as shown here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12670517/how-to-find-packages-containing-a-specific-file
