|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
#### Prebuilt Binaries
|
|
|
|
Prebuilt binaries are available for Linux and OSX on the [releases](https://github.com/liamg/aminal/releases) page.
|
|
|
|
Download the binary and `sudo cp aminal-* /usr/local/bin/aminal`.
|
|
|
|
#### Install with Go
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
go get -u github.com/liamg/aminal
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Build
|
|
|
|
#### Dependencies
|
|
|
|
- On macOS, you need Xcode or Command Line Tools for Xcode (`xcode-select --install`) for required headers and libraries.
|
|
- On Ubuntu/Debian-like Linux distributions, you need `libgl1-mesa-dev xorg-dev`.
|
|
- On CentOS/Fedora-like Linux distributions, you need `libX11-devel libXcursor-devel libXrandr-devel libXinerama-devel mesa-libGL-devel libXi-devel`.
|
|
|
|
#### Building Locally
|
|
|
|
There are various make targets available, the most obvious being:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make test
|
|
make build
|
|
make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
As long as you have your `GOBIN` environment variable set up properly (and in `PATH`), you should be able to run `aminal`.

## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Aminal looks for a config file in `~/.aminal.toml`, and will write one there the first time it runs, if it doesn't already exist.
|
|
|
|
You can ignore the config and use defaults by specifying `--ignore-config` as a CLI flag.
|
|
|
|
### Config File
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
debug = false # Enable debug logging to stdout. Defaults to false.
|
|
slomo = false # Enable slow motion output mode, useful for debugging shells/terminal GUI apps etc. Defaults to false.
|
|
shell = "/bin/bash" # The shell to run for the terminal session. Defaults to the users shell.
