Installing Terminator
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
It's strongly recommended to install Terminator using your OS's package
|
|
system rather than using setup.py yourself.
|
|
|
|
Packages are known to be available under the name "terminator" under a
|
|
lot of distributions, see below for a list.
|
|
|
|
I also maintain a PPA for Ubuntu 20.04 and up that has the latest release
|
|
If you're running ubuntu 20.04 or later, you can run
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mattrose/terminator
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
sudo apt install terminator
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Source Install
|
|
|
|
If you can't use distribution packages, make sure you satisfy Terminator's
|
|
dependencies yourself:
|
|
|
|
**Python 3.5+ recommended:** `python3` or `python37` (in FreeBSD)
|
|
|
|
**Python GTK and VTE bindings:**
|
|
|
|
Fedora/CentOS: python3-gobject python3-configobj python3-psutil vte291
|
|
keybinder3 intltool gettext
|
|
Debian/Ubuntu: python3-gi python3-gi-cairo python3-psutil python3-configobj
|
|
gir1.2-keybinder-3.0 gir1.2-vte-2.91 gettext intltool dbus-x11
|
|
FreeBSD: py37-psutil py37-configobj keybinder-gtk3 py37-gobject3 gettext
|
|
intltool libnotify vte3
|
|
|
|
If you don't care about native language support or icons, Terminator
|
|
should run just fine directly from this directory, just:
|
|
|
|
python3 terminator --help
|
|
|
|
And go from there. Manpages are available in the 'doc' directory.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** Currently most distributions use `python3` as binaries for Python 3,
|
|
> make sure to update either the shebangs, call the scripts with `python3` or
|
|
> use a wrapper script.
|
|
>
|
|
> Setuptools install will update the scripts with the correct shebang.
|
|
|
|
To install properly, run:
|
|
|
|
python3 setup.py build
|
|
python3 setup.py install --single-version-externally-managed --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:
|
|
|
|
python3 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.
|
|
