Text-based Memes
Templates using only text:
# 5000兆 (big/small contrast)
meme generate 5000choyen --texts "IMPORTANT" "ignore this"
# Always meme
meme generate always --texts "the answer is 42"
Mixed (Images + Text)
Recommended Workflow
- Search for a template:
meme search <keyword> - Preview the template:
meme preview <template> - Check requirements:

# 1. Verify template exists
meme search pet
# 2. See what it needs
meme info petpet

Troubleshooting
"meme: command not found"
The meme CLI is not installed. Install it from GitHub:
# Download the binary
curl -L https://github.com/MemeCrafters/meme-generator-rs/releases/latest/download/meme-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu -o meme
# Make executable and install
chmod +x meme
sudo mv meme /usr/local/bin/
# Download required resources
meme download
GitHub: https://github.com/MemeCrafters/meme-generator-rs
Alternative: Build from source with Rust:
cargo install meme-generator
meme download
Template Not Found
If generation fails with "unknown template" error:
# Verify template name
meme list | grep <template>
# Search for similar templates
meme search <keyword>
# Check template info
meme info <template>
Missing Resources
If images or templates are missing:
meme download
This downloads all required template assets.
Network Issues (Download Failed)
If meme download fails with connection timeout:
# Error example:
# WARN Failed to download: Connection timed out (os error 110)
# The CLI cannot reach cdn.jsdelivr.net
# Solution: Download resources manually from GitHub releases
# Visit: https://github.com/MemeCrafters/meme-generator-rs/releases
Note: Some templates may work without downloaded resources if they have built-in assets.
Tips
- Use
meme info <template>before generating to understand requirements - Redirect output to save:
> output.gif - Many templates support both images and text
- Some templates have optional parameters (like
--circlefor petpet) - Use
meme searchfor discovery when unsure of template name
