• imagemagick command-line tool for manipulating images. imagemagick can be found on major Linux distributions.
• wget command-line tool for downloading files. wget can be found on major Linux distributions.

• fortune command-line tool for providing "fortunes". fortune can be found on major Linux distributions.
• slugify if you wish to have filenames that mirror the text of the quotation. I used slugify-cli, which is a node.js program.

• If you wish to use your fortune file and get one quotation a day, use fortune_image.sh. As configured now, it will output one image to your $HOME directory.

• If you wish to specify which fortune file to use, edit Fortune=$(/usr/games/fortune) to read Fortune=$(/usr/games/fortune MyFortuneFile)

• If you wish to use a plain text file and output all of the quotations at once to your home directory, use all_fortune_image.sh with the text file as the first argument.

• Note that you will have to edit the sizes on lines 23 and 30 to get different output sizes.

• TBH, I'm probably not going to clean this up a lot more; there are too many variables possible for me to account for all of them.
