How does it work?? I have been trying google-fu for probably two hours trying to figure out how exactly you even install sixel. I found libsixel but it seems unmaintained. I just wanna try out images in my terminal. lol. Does anyone have any experience using sixel on linux and is it worth the effort to even setup?
Install xterm. Bam, you’ve got sixel support.

See I found that but I still could not figure out the install process. I finally figured that libsixel was the newest one but it still seems unmaintained. I ended up compiling it from source as it was not in the fedora repos. At this point I am more confused about the correct version of sixel to use. Libsixel is the only one I can really find
Most of the terminals which support sixel doesn’t use libsixel at all, instead they’ve developed their own implementation.
See I have foot and it says it supports sixel but no sixel commands were working until I got libsixel installed
I love sixel! On Konsole it works out of the box, and it’s my main way to work with plots on headless remote machine 😊.
