How does it work?? I have been trying google-fu for probably two hours trying to figure out how exactly you even install sixel. I found libsixel but it seems unmaintained. I just wanna try out images in my terminal. lol. Does anyone have any experience using sixel on linux and is it worth the effort to even setup?

See I found that but I still could not figure out the install process. I finally figured that libsixel was the newest one but it still seems unmaintained. I ended up compiling it from source as it was not in the fedora repos. At this point I am more confused about the correct version of sixel to use. Libsixel is the only one I can really find
Most of the terminals which support sixel doesn’t use libsixel at all, instead they’ve developed their own implementation.
See I have foot and it says it supports sixel but no sixel commands were working until I got libsixel installed
Install xterm. Bam, you’ve got sixel support.
I love sixel! On Konsole it works out of the box, and it’s my main way to work with plots on headless remote machine 😊.
