# SimpleImageViewer > View images fast and without any hocus pocus, sometimes less is better ## Disclaimer The inspiration was a youtube video, i've watched the beginning and though to myself that this cannot be that hard to implement. Of course it is not without usage, I will prepare the app to be hooked in Hyprland to launch the current photo stored in clipboard. ## Requirements - SDL3 ## Installations > As of now the only like-indented working implementation is for macOS. #### macOS - `brew install sdl3` - clone this repo and navigate into it - `gcc SimpleImageViewer.c -o SimpleImageViewer -Wall -Werror -o3 $(pkg-config --cflags --libs sdl3)` or with `clang` - additional compiler arguments for ide: `-I/opt/homebrew/include -L/opt/homebrew/lib -Wl,-rpath,/opt/homebrew/lib -lSDL3 ` #### Linux - `sudo pacman -S sdl3 --noconfirm` - `gcc SimpleImageViewer.c -o SimpleImageViewer -Wall -Werror -o3 $(pkg-config --cflags --libs sdl3) -lm` or with `clang`
