-# imag: weird image board thingy
-
-> note: this is a fork of a project that doesn't exist anymore. this document is mostly paraphrased from README.original.md.
-
-this is intended to be hacked upon! please do make forks and tell the creator what you've made. our "showcase" is at [quotes.everypizza.im](https://quotes.everypizza.im/).
-
-# prerequisites
-
--   tesseract
--   tesseract data
--   python
-
-# bot
-
-there's a very small bot at [n/quotes-bot](https://git.everypizza.im/n/quotes-bot). copied from the original with some very small changes.
-
-# running
-
-first run:
-```sh
-python3 src/main.py
-```
-this generates a key. keep it, you need it to add new images!
-
-afterwards:
-```sh
-rm -rf src/images src/instance
-```
-### step-by-step
-
-> these are directly from the original docs.

-this comes from an email i got from a user :
-
-1. clone the repository : `git clone https://git.everypizza.im/n/imag && cd imag`
-2. make sure you have virtualenv installed ( either through python-virtualenv / python3-virtualenv / py3-virtualenv packages, or by pip - `python3 -m pip install --user --break-system-packages --upgrade virtualenv`
-3. ensure you have sqlite3 and memcached installed : `apt install sqlite3 memcached`
-4. create a new virtual environment : `python3 -m virtualenv venv && source venv/bin/activate`
