$ cd
$ git clone https://github.com/ns23/ImageCompression.git
$ cd ImageCompression
$ pip install -U -r requirements.txt
Important:
if you have installed both Python 2 and 3, the pip command
could invoke an installation for Python 2. To see which Python version pip
refers to, try $ pip -V. If it turns out pip is your Python 2 pip, try
$ pip3 install -U -r requirements.txt instead.
Run the Program in terminal enter the path of folder.Hit Enter Script will select all imagesin the folder and compress the images Using piexif exif data is copied to compressed image
Important: as like with pip, there might be no $ python3 command.
This is most likely the case when you have only Python 3 but not 2 installed.
In this case try the $ python command instead of $ python3,
but make sure $ python -V gives you a Python 3.x.x!
- For all available options, run
$ python imgCompress.py --help.
