#cool-old-term

##Description cool-old-term is a terminal emulator which tries to mimic the look and feel of the old cathode tube screens. It has been designed to be eye-candy, customizable, and reasonably lightweight.

It now uses the konsole engine which is powerful and mature.

This terminal emulator requires Qt 5.2 or higher to run.

Anyone else

Install Qt directly from here http://qt-project.org/downloads . Once done export them in you path (replace "/opt/Qt5.3.1/5.3/gcc_64/bin" with your correct folder):

export PATH=/opt/Qt5.3.1/5.3/gcc_64/bin/:$PATH

###Compile Once you installed all dependencies (Qt is installed and in your path) you need to compile and run the application:

# Get it from GitHub
git clone https://github.com/Swordifish90/cool-old-term.git

# Build it
cd cool-old-term
cd konsole-qml-plugin

# Compile (Fedora and OpenSUSE user should use qmake-qt5 instead of qmake)
qmake && make && make install

cd ..

# Have fun!
./cool-old-term
