Himawari-8 animation tutorial

Here’s how to make animations like this one. It requires intermediate Unix command-line knowledge, to install some tools and to debug if they don’t work. You’ll need these utilities:

• curl (or you can translate to wget)
• convert and montage, part of ImageMagick
• ffmpeg, plus whatever codecs
• parallel, for iteration that’s nicer than shell for loops or xargs
• run everything in zsh for leading 0s in numerical ranges to work
