MacOS

Could you please also provide installation instructions for MacOS, if possible.

Hello there, If your OS / distro is not mentioned in the installation instructions here, you essentially have 2 options that will work anywhere.

1. Follow the instructions here cloning the repo, building it and placing it in your $PATH
2. Follow the instructions here using the go install utility which will essentially do the same thing but place the binary in $HOME/go/bin

The above instructions assume you have go installed.

Im planning to add support for COPR (Fedora and derivatives) and PPA (Debian and derivatives) so i can cover all the linux distro's

As for MacOS, as i dont have a Mac device its a bit tricky. I roughly know that you need to create a homebrew tap and homebrew formula. If any Mac user wants to help with that, i would be more than happy.

You need to install go by downloading it from https://go.dev/ or using brew install go.
I cloned the repository, and the go build command works fine. Running gowall in the directory with ./gowall also works. Additionally, moving it to /usr/local/bin makes it globally accessible.

Here is a screenshot showing me converting an image.

Note:
When running go install, it doesn’t seem to work; I get this:

However, when I use go build, it successfully builds gowall.

I will probably cross-compile gowall for MacOS since go makes it easy, so you could also get the binaries from there but still, i dont have a Mac device so i cant really test it

The webp library is giving me some trouble though, i will have to sort that out
