# how do?

## build depedencies (headers included):
 - zig at https://ziglang.org
 - libc, lilv and libsndfile
 - graphicsmagick for the `rotate` command

## plugin depedencies (only required at runtime):
 - lv2 default plugins (most specifically the eg-amp plugin,
    will likely be there by default)
 - the SWH plugins ( https://github.com/swh/lv2 )
 - the Invada Studio plugins ( https://launchpad.net/invada-studio/ )

```bash
# build and install
# assumes lilv headers are at /usr/include/lilv-0, edit build.zig if different
git clone https://gitdab.com/luna/scritcher.git
cd scritcher

zig build install --prefix ~/.local/

# on your input image file
convert blah.jpg blah.bmp

# if you got the lv2 default amp plugin, this is runnable
scritcher examples/middle_amp.scri blah.bmp

# if not, the noise plugin does not depend on any lv2 plugin.
scritcher examples/noise.scri blah.bmp

// scritcher saves it on an incremental basis, so the first run will save to
// blah_g1.bmp, the second saves to blah_g2.bmp, etc.
