  1. # kanaconv: Command to convert Japanese from/to Kana/Kanji/Romaji with furigana option
  3. I created this tool as I wanted to have a way to easily generate [furigana](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furigana) from Japanese text, a feature missing from [kakasi](http://kakasi.namazu.org/), which I'd recommend also checking out.
  5. ## Dependencies
  6. - A CommonJS engine, such as NodeJS
  7. - [kuroshiro](https://kuroshiro.org/) `^1.2.0`
  8. - [kuroshiro-analyzer-mecab](https://github.com/hexenq/kuroshiro-analyzer-mecab) `^1.0.0`
  9. - [minimist](https://github.com/minimistjs/minimist) `^1.2.8`
  11. Mecab Analyzer was picked as Mecab is widly packaged in distros while the rest are NPM-only and rather obscure by comparison.  
  12. Should also be noted that the only indirect hard-dependencies are mecab-async and shell-quote, this makes this software packageable in distributions the traditional way.
