Nyancat CLI
Nyancat rendered in your terminal.
Distributions
Nyancat is available in the following distributions:
And also on some BSD systems:
Setup
First build the C application:
make && cd src
You can run the C application standalone.
./nyancat
To use the telnet server, you need to add a configuration that runs:
nyancat -t
We recommend openbsd-inetd, but both xinetd and systemd work as well. You
should be able to use any other compatible inetd flavor too.
Distribution Specific Information
Debian/Ubuntu
Debian and Ubuntu provide the nyancat binary through the nyancat package. A
nyancat-server package is provided to automatically setup and enable a nyancat
telnet server upon installation. I am not the maintainer of these packages;
please direct any questions or bugs to the relevant distribution's bug tracking
system.
