Installation

ori-term is in alpha. Pre-release builds are published to GitHub Releases for every tagged version.

Quick Install

On Linux or macOS, the install script detects your platform, downloads the latest release, and puts it in ~/.local/bin:

curl -fsSL https://oriterm.com/install.sh | sh

Or with wget:

wget -qO- https://oriterm.com/install.sh | sh

To install to a custom directory:

ORITERM_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin curl -fsSL https://oriterm.com/install.sh | sh

Download

Grab the latest pre-release binary from the releases page.

Windows

Download the .zip from the latest release. Extract and run oriterm.exe. Optionally add to your PATH. Requires Windows 10 or later with a GPU that supports Vulkan or DX12.

Linux

Download and install the .tar.gz from the latest release:

# Download the latest release
# (or use the install script above)
tar xzf oriterm-*.tar.gz
chmod +x oriterm
sudo mv oriterm /usr/local/bin/

Requires a GPU with Vulkan support. Works on most modern Linux distributions, X11 and Wayland.

macOS

Download the .tar.gz from the latest release:

tar xzf oriterm-*.tar.gz
chmod +x oriterm
mv oriterm ~/.local/bin/

Apple Silicon (aarch64) build available. Requires Metal support (any Mac from 2012+).

Build from Source

The toolchain is pinned in rust-toolchain.toml — rustup picks it up automatically.

git clone https://github.com/upstat-io/ori-term.git
cd ori-term/term_repo
cargo build --release

To cross-compile for Windows from Linux/WSL, add the target and use the cross-build target:

rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
cargo build --release --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

The binary will be at target/release/oriterm (or oriterm.exe on Windows).
