# Nyancat CLI

Nyancat rendered in your terminal.

## Setup

First build the C application:

    make && cd src

You can run the C application standalone. It will prompt you to select a color mode.

    ./nyancat

To use the telnet server, you need to add a configuration that runs:

    nyancat -t

... to either an `inetd` or `xinetd` server. I am using `openbsd-inetd`, which you must give *both* arguments (`nyancat` and `-t`) to, which I found odd.
