That would be nice. I know nothing about brew and don't have a Mac. If someone who knows how brew works is able to get lsix added as a package, I'd love it.

👋 I submitted lsix to Homebrew, it is available in the core tap now.

Thank you. Are there any special instructions I should have for MacOS users? For example, “To use lsix on a Mac, you'll need to run the ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲?̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲terminal app. Use the following brew commands to install it: ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲?̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲.”

I only know that iTerm2 supports sixel. Alacritty doesn't support graphics and kitty has its own graphics protocol. These terminals are the prominent ones on macOS, so maybe just suggest using lsix in iTerm2.

EDIT: looks like VTE is also available on macOS, but I haven't try any other yet.

Use the following brew commands to install it: ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲?̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲.”_

Just brew install lsix. I think one line in the README will do.
