Dependences for proper works

Simply open your terminal and in the same folder, type chmod +x ./install.sh && ./install.sh to install all dependencies and move the tools to their respective folder.

Or, if you prefer, you can do it manually:

First step: you need install brew [https://brew.sh/] Second step: For Videos

brew install ffmpeg ffmpeg2theora

Images

brew install imagemagick

Images AVIF

brew install joedrago/repo/avifenc

Clone the repository

Copy all the contents of the workflow folder to /Users/<USER>/Library/Services/

As they are installed, we make secondary click on some image or file, in the submenu we go to quick or service actions > Customize.

It will open extensions of the System Setup, with the options copied previously, we give to check in those that we want and already we can use them.
