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.
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-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.
Note: Currently most distributions use
python3
as binaries for Python 3, make sure to update either the shebangs, call the scripts withpython3
or use a wrapper script.Setuptools install will update the scripts with the correct shebang.
To install properly, run:
python3 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:
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.
Distributions
If you maintain terminator for an OS other than these, please get in touch or issue a PR to this file.
