Search a local photo library with natural-language queries, similar image search, or mixed text and image queries directly from the terminal. It builds on the CLIP architecture introduced by OpenAI. Usage: `cd photos && rclip "search query"` The first time you run **rclip** in a directory, it extracts features from your images to build the search index. How long this takes depends on your CPU and the number of images you search. It took about a day to process 73,000 photos on a NAS with an old Intel Celeron J3455. For a detailed demonstration, watch the video: . You can also use an image as the query by passing a file path or image URL. You can also combine and subtract image and text queries.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for *snapd*, select the result, and click Apply. Alternatively, *snapd* can be installed from the command line: ``` sudo pacman -S snapd ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install rclip To install rclip, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install rclip ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
