Final Term is in heavy development and neither stable nor feature complete! You can follow Final Term's high level progress at blog.finalterm.org. To discuss Final Term and get support, join #finalterm on Freenode.
Like all other contributions, translations of Final Term into any language are welcome and greatly appreciated. However, because of its superior capabilities for that task, we have decided to manage translation contributions through Launchpad's Rosetta at https://translations.launchpad.net/finalterm/trunk/+pots/finalterm rather than on GitHub, so please submit your work there instead of filing a pull request here.
Whenever an actual release of Final Term is packaged (which hasn't happened yet as the project is still in an unstable state), the translations on Launchpad will be merged and all translators will be credited in Final Term's about dialog.
Final Term is a new breed of terminal emulator.
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

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:
- Gee
- GTK+ 3
- Clutter >= 1.12
- Clutter-Gtk
- Mx
- keybinder-3.0
- libnotify Optional, for desktop notifications support
- libunity Optional, for Unity launcher integration (progress bars)
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 installIf 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.
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 finaltermThe PPA is synchronized with the GitHub repository and should always deliver the latest version with a few hours delay at most.
You can use packages from Copr by Matthew Miller.
