Find Orientation of an image captured by a digital camera or mobile / cell phone

Download exiftool tar file from http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ and extract it. Now run these commands.
First change directory.
cd Image-ExifTool-9.78/
Run these commands one by one.

To find the orientation of a camera image run command after installation :

Do not use downloaded image, make sure it is clicked by digital camera.

Note : Orientation means the correct position of the image with respect to the camera button when it was clicked.

If you are trying to run git commands to pull and push and you are getting this. Here is the solution for you.

Open file /etc/resolv.conf and add following line in it

nameserver 8.8.8.8
Now save the file and try to pull/push again.

Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding

Either you have changed your hostname or any similar activity on your system that's why other system is not identifying you.

Solution :
Run this command on terminal
xauth add :0 . `mcookie`
To check whether your hostname is added in the list or not, run
xauth list
Now ssh into other system, you will not get this error.
