It's strongly recommended to install Terminator using your OS's package

If you don't care about native language support or icons, Terminator
should run just fine directly from this directory, just:
./terminator --help
And go from there. Manpages are available in the 'doc' directory.
To install properly, run:
./setup.py install --record=install-files.txt
See --help for an overview of the available options; e.g. --prefix to
install to a custom base directory, and --without-gettext to avoid
installing natural language support files.
setup.py supports basic uninstallation provided --record was used for
installation as above:
./setup.py uninstall --manifest=install-files.txt
Note that uninstall will avoid removing most empty directories so it
won't harm e.g. locale or icon directories which only contain Terminator
data. It also won't rebuild the icon cache, so you may wish to:
gtk-update-icon-cache -q -f ${PREFIX}/share/icons/hicolor
Where ${PREFIX} is the base install directory; e.g. /usr/local.
