TPE is a pixel-level image editor for the terminal.
You need to install the Notcurses library to compile TPE. (libnotcurses-dev on Debian)
Run make to build the tpe executable. make help explains more.
Run make install to copy the tpe binary into a given prefix (the default is
/usr/local/bin). This may require running make as root.
To open a file with TPE pass its path as a command line argument. You can pass multiple paths to open more than one file:
tpe path/to/file1.png path/to/file2.png
The mouse can be additionally used to invoke tool actions and select items in modals.
