Installation

Terminalwire may be installed by running the following command in your terminal:

Install Terminalwire on Linux or macOS

curl -sSL https://terminalwire.sh | bash

Restart your terminal to complete the installation

The Terminalwire installer does the following on your workstation:

Downloads the Terminalwire client runtime to /opt/terminalwire
Detects and configures your shell initialization file to include the directories /opt/terminalwire/bin and ~/.terminalwire/bin in your $PATH variable
Creates a ~/.terminalwire directory to store Terminalwire configuration files.

Once installed, run the terminalwire command to verify it’s properly installed and you should see output similar to the following:

Run the base terminalwire command

terminalwire

Commands:

  terminalwire apps            # List apps installed in terminalwire directory

  terminalwire help [COMMAND]  # Describe available commands or one specific ...

  terminalwire install NAME    # Install a terminalwire app

  terminalwire list            # List installed apps in terminalwire directory

  terminalwire open            # Open terminal wire in the browser.

  terminalwire setup           # Setup terminalwire

  terminalwire uninstall NAME  # Uninstall a terminalwire app

That’s it! You have successfully installed Terminalwire on your workstation.
