This is a utility script for Ubuntu to install MozJPEG and OxiPNG both of which are very powerful image compression utilities.

I personally use them to compress the images on my websites.

Tested only on Ubuntu 20.04.

Note that OxiPNG is a Rust binary, hence it will also be installed.

git clone https://github.com/cr8ivecodesmith/img_compress.git
cd img_compress && ./setup.sh

You will then need to add $HOME/.cargo/bin to your system PATH to run OxiPNG.

Just run the included uninstall.sh script. It will not remove Rust though, just the OxiPNG binary.
