You could probably just use wsl to get lolcat, I've done it before.

No need for WSL. Just install Ruby from https://rubyinstaller.org and run gem install lolcat.

Can we compile this to work on any windows machine

rashil2000 commented 3 years ago

Ruby is an interpreted language, so you'll always need the Ruby interpretor to run lolcat. However, you can use a bundler like ocra to make a standalone self-extracting executable for lolcat.

Its better on Linux and macos because thats what its made for- theres a reason why it doesn't have a windows install section in the readme
