I was not aware there was a [Homebrew cask](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/master/Casks/cool-retro-term.rb) for this project, which simplifies installation on macOS. This commit adds documentation for installing the app via Homebrew.

## Description
|
|
cool-retro-term is a terminal emulator which mimics the look and feel of the old cathode tube screens.
|
|
It has been designed to be eye-candy, customizable, and reasonably lightweight.
|
|
|
|
It uses the QML port of qtermwidget (Konsole) developed by me: https://github.com/Swordfish90/qmltermwidget .
|
|
|
|
This terminal emulator works under Linux and macOS and requires Qt 5.2 or higher.

## Install
|
|
Walk the easy way and install cool-retro-term using one of these convenient packages:
|
|
|
|
Just grab the latest AppImage from the release page and make it executable and run it:
|
|
|
|
wget https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term/releases/download/1.1.1/Cool-Retro-Term-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage
|
|
chmod a+x Cool-Retro-Term-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage
|
|
./Cool-Retro-Term-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage
|
|
|
|
**Fedora** has the `cool-retro-term` in the official repositories. All you have to do is `sudo dnf install cool-retro-term`.
|
|
|
|
Users of **openSUSE** can grab a package from [Open Build Service](http://software.opensuse.org/package/cool-retro-term).
|
|
|
|
**Arch** users can install this [package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cool-retro-term-git/) directly via the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org):
|
|
|
|
yaourt -S aur/cool-retro-term-git
|
|
|
|
or use:
|
|
|
|
pacman -S cool-retro-term
|
|
|
|
to install precompiled from community repository.
|
|
|
|
**Gentoo** users can now install the fourth release "1.1.1" from a 3rd-party repository preferably via layman:
|
|
|
|
USE="git" emerge app-portage/layman
|
|
wget https://www.gerczei.eu/files/gerczei.xml -O /etc/layman/overlays/gerczei.xml
|
|
layman -f -a qt -a gerczei # those who've added the repo before 27/08/17 should remove, update and add it again as its source has changed
|
|
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~*" emerge =x11-terms/cool-retro-term-1.1.1::gerczei
|
|
|
|
The live ebuild (version 9999-r1) tracking the bleeding-edge WIP codebase also remains available.
|
|
|
|
A word of warning: USE flags and keywords are to be added to portage's configuration files and every emerge operation should be executed with '-p' (short option for --pretend) appended to the command line first as per best practice!

**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
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
# Build it
|
|
cd cool-retro-term
|

|
|
qmake && make
|
|
|
|
# Have fun!
|
|
./cool-retro-term
