Emily Dunham: Using Notty |
I recently got the “Hey, you’re a Rust Person!” question of how to install notty and interact with it.
A TTY was originally a teletypewriter. Linux users will have most likely encountered the concept of TTYs in the context of the TTY1 interface where you end up if your distro fails to start its window manager. Since you use ctrl + alt + f[1,2,...] to switch between these interfaces, it’s easy to assume that “TTY” refers to an interactive workspace.
Notty itself is only a virtual terminal. Think of it as a library meant as a building block for creating graphical terminal emulators. This means that a user who saw it on Hacker News and wants to play around should not ask “how do I install notty”, but rather “how do I run a terminal emulator built on notty?”.
Get some Rust:
curl -sf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brson/multirust/master/blastoff.sh | sh multirust update nightly
Get the system dependencies:
sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0 libatk1.0 libsdl-pango-dev libgtk-3-dev
Run Notty:
git clone https://github.com/withoutboats/notty.git cd notty/scaffolding multirust run nightly cargo run
And there you have it! As mentioned in the notty README, “This terminal is buggy and feature poor and not intended for general use”. Notty is meant as a library for building graphical terminals, and scaffolding is only a minimal proof of concept.
