How to install the RXVT command line terminal window Program in Linux

RXVT is a powerful terminal, it takes up less resources, faster startup, and many people like to use it. So I'm here to introduce the installation of the RXVT Chinese terminal in the Debian system. There are many RXVT packages in Debian that can be queried with the Apt-cache Search RXVT command. There are three main categories, one is called RXVT, does not support Chinese display; one is called RXVT-ML, supports GB and BIG5 Chinese encoding; there is also a rxvt-unicode that supports Unicode encoding. The first type does not support Chinese and is not discussed here. The installation of the RXVT-ML and Rxvt-unicode two RXVT terminals is discussed below.

Before using the RXVT Chinese terminal, you need to configure the Chinese environment for the GNOME or KDE desktop first. In order to display Chinese in RXVT and use Chinese Input method (I use FCITX).

Install RXVT-ML

Here we take the Debian system Linux as an example:

The code is as follows:

Apt-get Install RXVT-ML

After the installation is complete, several RXVT programs are generated in the/usr/bin directory, namely CRXVT Crxvt-big5 CRXVT-GB grxvt krxvt and a link file/etc/alternatives/rxvt to the RXVT. These six programs correspond to different language coding environments, CRXVT-GB are used in Chinese GB coding environment, CRXVT-BIG5 for large five code environment, KRXVT for Japanese environment, KRXVT can be used in Chinese environment, GRXVT for Greek keyboard environment; CRXVT is also used for large five-yard environments; RXVT link defaults to KRXVT.

For us, we just need to use the CRXVT-GB program. In order to display Chinese properly, we need to configure the locale environment as ZH_CN. GB2312. Specific configuration can be found in the GNOME and KDE desktop environment locale configuration. Restarting the x session causes locale to take effect, so that the RXVT Chinese terminal can be used CRXVT-GB.

Example of a personal profile configuration:
