| # Get it from GitHub |  | ||||||
| git clone --recursive https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term.git |  | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
| # Build it |  | ||||||
| cd cool-retro-term |  | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
| # Compile (Fedora and OpenSUSE user should use qmake-qt5 instead of qmake) |  | ||||||
| qmake && make |  | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
| # Have fun! |  | ||||||
| ./cool-retro-term |  | ||||||
| ``` |  | ||||||
