Install Terminator in CentOS to enhance the command line terminal

This article mainly introduces how to install Terminator in CENTOS to enhance the command line terminal. Terminator provides a more powerful graphical user interface than the built-in Terminal. For more information about Terminator, see Terminator, it can open multiple terminals in one window. One of the goals of this project is to provide a useful tool for terminal placement. It is inspired by such articles as gnome-multi-term and quankonsole. This article mainly introduces how to install Terminator in CENTOS to enhance the command line terminal, terminator provides a more powerful graphical user interface than the built-in Terminal. you can refer to Terminator to open multiple terminals in a window. One of the goals of this project is to provide a useful tool for terminal placement. It is inspired by programs such as gnome-multi-term and quankonsole, which focus on terminal placement by grid. Terminator 0.98 provides a more perfect tag function, better layout storage/restoration, and improved the preferred user interface and multiple bug fixes.

Changes and new features of TERMINATOR 0.98

* A layout starter is added to allow simple switching between no la S (use Alt + L to open a new layout switcher );

Install Terminator 0.98

Terminator 0.98 has an available PPA. First, we need to add a library on Ubuntu/Linux Mint. Run the following command on the terminal to install Terminator 0.98.

$ Sudo add-apt-repository ppa: gnome-terminator/nightly
$ Sudo apt-get update
$ Sudo apt-get install terminator/

If you want to remove Terminator, you only need to run the following command in the terminal (optional ).

$ Sudo apt-get remove terminator

 

I have been using Termiantor as the default terminal. The biggest feature of this console simulator is that it supports full screen. I like this feature very much, so that I will not be disturbed by the taskbar, window title, and other things, it also makes people feel like they are operating on the console, rather than on the graphic desktop :-).
In addition to the full screen function, Terminator also supports multiple configuration settings. it is worth mentioning that the "Run a custom command" function allows Terminator to Run some commands at startup, in addition, you can set Terminator to close at the same time when the command exits. of course, this function is not unique to Terminator. It can also be implemented in other console simulators through command parameters or configuration files.

Then, we need to modify the code (it is unclear that these bugs have been around for a long time, but no one has solved them! -_-!).
*

Cp terminatorlib/_ init _. py terminatorlib/plugins/

; This bug is really ~~, This replication can only run on the plug-in, but I don't know whether the plug-in can be used. it is not required at present.
* Edit termiantor and add the following code under line 1:

Sys. path. append ('/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages ')

This line of code specifies the python library search path. when I installed Terminator for the first time, I found that it put terminatorlib in the/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages directory, different systems may have different paths. you can install the software first, and then check its location. modify the previous sentence accordingly. I have not set the environment variable PYTHONPATH = $ PYTHONPATH:/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages, because I want to minimize the impact on the system environment.
*

./Setup. py install-prefix =/usr -record=install-files.txt

; Installation, and specify the installation directory and record the installation information for ease of uninstallation (./setup. py uninstall -manifest=install-files.txt)
After performing the preceding operations, you can successfully run Terminator.
