Sorry, I am new to iterm2. I am finding way to display image(e.g jpg/png) in console inline and it seems that imgcat can help me do so.

But after I downloaded the latest iterm2 and I find that there is not `imgcat` command in iterm2?

In http://iterm2.com/images.html#/section/home, it provided the script of `imgcat` here(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnachman/iTerm2/master/tests/imgcat). So, how can I include it in iterm2. So frustrated now, hope that if anyone can help.

Make sure you're using a 2.9.x version (the nightly build). imgcat doesn't ship with iTerm2, but you can copy it from github.
