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" for the
following Distributions
* Arch Linux
* CentOS
* Debian
* Fedora
* FreeBSD
* Gentoo
* OpenSUSE
* Ubuntu
If you maintain terminator for an OS other than these, please get in touch
or issue a PR to this file.
If you don't have this option, please make sure you satisfy Terminator's
dependencies yourself:
* Python 3.5+ recommended:
Debian/Ubuntu: python3
Fedora/CentOS: python3
FreeBSD: python37
* Python GTK and VTE bindings:
Fedora/CentOS: python3-gobject python3-configobj python3-psutil vte291
keybinder3 intltool gettext
Debian/Ubuntu: python3-gi python3-psutil python3-configobj
gir1.2-keybinder-3.0 gettext intltool
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:
./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.
