#cool-old-term

##Description
cool-old-term is a terminal emulator which tries to mimic the look and feel of the old cathode tube screens.
It has been designed to be eye-candy, customizable, and reasonably lightweight.

It now uses the konsole engine which is powerful and mature.

This terminal emulator requires Qt 5.2 or higher to run.

Install dependencies:

    sudo zypper install libqt5-qtbase-devel libqt5-qtdeclarative-devel libqt5-qtquickcontrols libqt5-qtgraphicaleffects

---

**Anyone else**

Install Qt directly from here http://qt-project.org/downloads . Once done export them in you path (replace "_/opt/Qt5.3.1/5.3/gcc_64/bin_" with your correct folder):
    
    export PATH=/opt/Qt5.3.1/5.3/gcc_64/bin/:$PATH

###Compile
Once you installed all dependencies (Qt is installed and in your path) you need to compile and run the application: 

```bash
# Get it from GitHub
git clone https://github.com/Swordifish90/cool-old-term.git

# Build it
cd cool-old-term
cd konsole-qml-plugin

# Compile (Fedora and OpenSUSE user should use qmake-qt5 instead of qmake)
qmake && make && make install

cd ..

# Have fun!
./cool-old-term
```
