Repository Details

At last – a modern terminal emulator (NO LONGER MAINTAINED)

‼️ Final Term is no longer being actively developed. The official discontinuation announcement can be found at http://worldwidemann.com/finally-terminated. ‼️




About Final Term

Final Term is a new breed of terminal emulator.

Screencast

It goes beyond mere emulation and understands what is happening inside the shell it is hosting. This allows it to offer features no other terminal can, including:

  • Semantic text menus
  • Smart command completion
  • GUI terminal controls

For more information, visit http://finalterm.org.

Installation

Final Term is written in Vala and built on top of GTK+ 3, Clutter and Mx. It requires the development files for the following software packages:

Additionally, it requires intltool for localization string extraction.

To install Final Term, execute these shell commands:

git clone https://github.com/p-e-w/finalterm.git
cd finalterm/
mkdir build
cd build/
cmake ..
make
sudo make install

If you want to install to a custom directory your XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable has to point to the prefix with the file glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled in it.

Instructions for Ubuntu

Thanks to the work of Bob Mottram (packaging) and GitHub user versable (PPA setup), Ubuntu is currently the easiest platform to install Final Term on:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:finalterm/daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install finalterm

The PPA is synchronized with the GitHub repository and should always deliver the latest version with a few hours delay at most.

Acknowledgments

Final Term owes much of its existence to the awesomeness of Vala and its documentation, Clutter and Mx, as well as to those projects authors' generous decision to release their amazing work as open source software.

Much of the knowledge about terminal emulation required to build Final Term was gained from the xterm specification and the VT100 User Guide, as well as from the study of existing terminal emulators such as st and Terminator.

Final Term's color schemes are generated using the wonderful Base16 Builder by Chris Kempson.

Final Term's application icon is a modified version of the terminal icon from the Faenza icon theme by Matthieu James.
