Hello,

I would like to know if there is a command to open a jpg or png image from a terminal, please.
(On Linux, of course)
Thank you

    Hello,

    The list would be long if we had to enumerate them all. Here are a few:
    • eog
    • display (requires imagemagick)
    • feh
    • fbi (TTY)
    • xdg-open

    etc.

      That's a bit why I asked him for his distribution --'
      And since it's a custom distribution, it would be ideal for him to ask directly those who set it up (Bocal d'Epitech)
      See here for more information

      Otherwise, were you planning to bring something...?

        Why is it forbidden to respond?

      Nope, it's just that opening a reply thread to provide a comment that doesn't allow for a possible resolution of the issue does not actually... solve the problem.

        He cannot install anything, but there is nothing to say that one of the mentioned programs is not already installed…

        Then, his request is not clear ;-\

        There is a difference between opening an image FROM a terminal (graphically) and opening an image IN a terminal.

      We agree.

      To the question "What software do you use to view your images?", the answer "in my file managers it says open with image viewer" is not necessarily the most appropriate.
      However, drowning it in a lot of possible answers (because yes, we're on Linux, so there are quite a few software options) is not, in my opinion, the best approach.
      After all, teaching (or helping... the gap between the two terms is thin)... there's no miracle recipe.
      I opted for "ask your technical support what the image viewer is", I think that's the best advice I can give him before providing him with the correct command line.

    Hello!

    It depends on your "image viewer" ;-) What software do you use to view your images? From there, I'll tell you which command line to use to open the image with that software.

    Have a great day!

      Eh bien, quand je vais chercher dans mes gestionnaires de dossiers, il est écrit "ouvrir avec visionneur d'image" !

        a customized Linux distribution (Blinux) made in Epitech Paris

      Well, since I've never been to Epitech (except for Prologin), I can't really tell you what it is :-D
      Well... I dug a little into the subject, and it seems that OpenSuse is hiding behind Blinux. The default image viewer in OpenSuse is Gwenview

      Try typing
      man gwenview
      in a terminal ;-)

      EDIT: oh wait actually I don't know (I kind of mentioned it at the beginning of this post but I'll repeat)
      Apparently, Epitech likes to change the provided software stack.
      So... if it's not gwenview... ask your technical support what the image viewer is ;-) You'll just need to do a
      man myFavoriteViewerThatILoveAndAdore
      to see the options available in the command line ;-)
