Emojix

😱 This script allows to install the emojis of fonts-noto-color-emoji in our 🐃GNU/Linux🐧 and the necessary configuration to visualize👁 them in terminal as well as in the browser💻 and if you are here, it is because you love❤️ to use the emojis 😍 in a crazy way as we do 😬.

Getting Started 🚀

To perform the installation we must meet the following requirements.

• GNU/Linux system (of course)
• Superuser permissions sudo💪.

We can make the installation in a normal way or with option to update the font of NotoColorEmoji.ttf that is in the official google repository using the option -u or --update.

Installation

sh -c "$(wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/edicsonabel/emojix/master/install.sh 2>/dev/null)"

Installation with update

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/edicsonabel/emojix/master/install.sh -O /tmp/emojix 2>/dev/null;chmod +x /tmp/emojix;sh /tmp/emojix -u

After you have completed the installation, you must close the programs such as terminal, browser, editor, etc. and open them again to view the emojis.

Show example in terminal

You can use the display example in the terminal by opening a new one and entering the following code.

echo "$(printf "$(wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/edicsonabel/emojix/master/example.txt 2>/dev/null)")"

Failures ❌

Emojis are not displayed in my terminal

• Perhaps you have not closed the terminal after installation and opened a new terminal to load the settings.
• You should also update the font cache with the command fc-cache -f -v.

Emojis are not displayed in my browser

• Your browser may have a default font for sans-serif in preferences, so you should go to preferences in browser and change the default font from sans-serif to Noto Color Emoji.
