• Dependencies ** Emacs Version To use this library, you need Emacs 29 or later. It has to be built with all the normal image-related goodies.

See [[https://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/2014/11/13/welcome-new-emacs-developers/][Welcome New Emacs Developers]] for simple instructions on how to do this.

** imgur.el library

Meme.el depends on [[https://github.com/larsmagne/imgur.el][imgur.el]]. Download it and put it in your ~load-path~.

** Microsoft True Type Fonts You will also need to get the correct fonts, *** Ubuntu

+BEGIN_SRC shell

$ apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

+END_SRC

*** Arch Linux Using an AUR wrapper,

+BEGIN_SRC shell

$ pacaur -S ttf-ms-fonts fontconfig-ttf-ms-fonts

+END_SRC

• Installation From Source [[https://github.com/larsmagne/meme][Meme.el]] is not officially part of MELPA [[https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-06/msg00848.html][yet]], so the easiest way to install it is to clone the repository and add it to your Emacs load path,

  +BEGIN_SRC shell

  $ cd /path/to/src $ git clone https://github.com/larsmagne/meme.el

  +END_SRC

• Configuration Then in your ~init.el~ add the following:

+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/src/meme") (require 'meme) (autoload 'meme "meme.el" "Create a meme from a collection" t) (autoload 'meme-file "meme.el" "Create a meme from a file" t)

+END_SRC

• Usage

  +CAPTION: Remove font and will fallback to default system setting.

  [[./screenshot.png]] You can now effectively generate memes within Emacs from Collection of Images ~M-x meme~, will allow you choose an image to edit from those stored in =/path/to/src/meme/images= Select an Image File ~M-x meme-file~ will let you browse to the desired image file.
