qransi is a tool to generate QR codes for a given set of text. The QR code is rendered as ANSI art sent to stdout.
It ends up looking something like this:
$ qransi usage: qransi [TEXT] ([LEVEL]) Encodes TEXT as a QR code rendered as ANSI art. Optionally selects error-correction LEVEL (L|M|Q|H). Default is L.
First, make sure libqrencode is installed on your system. Then do the following:
$ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install
