Use MS Paint directly in Terminal
The famous TUI-shaped image editor!
Textual Paint is an image editor TUI (Text User Interface), inspired by MS Paint, written in Python with the Textual library.
How about testing and using this beauty?!
To install it is very simple, just Pip:
pip install textual-paint
If your system presents any criticism during the installation, it’s probably because it adopts some security policies and you need to install in a virtual environment.
To do this, run the commands in order:
- Create an environment and activate it:
mkdir -p .local/bin/venv
python -m venv ${HOME}/.local/bin/venv
. .local/bin/venv/bin/activate
- Now install
textual-paint
:
(venv) pip install textual-paint
textual-paint
deactivate
- And to run, use the command:
exec ~/.local/bin/venv/bin/textual-paint
If you want to add it as a quick command, create an alias:
echo 'alias textual-paint="${HOME}/.local/bin/venv/bin/textual-paint"' >> ~/.bashrc
exec $SHELL
Now just use the command:
textual-paint
