Install

The fastest path is the Termy download page. It detects your platform and links to the current GitHub release.

macOS

1. On the download page, choose Apple silicon for M-series Macs or Intel for older Macs.
2. Open the .dmg and drag Termy to /Applications.
3. Open Termy from Applications.

macOS DMGs from v0.2.75 onward are signed and notarized. If Termy does not open, see the troubleshooting guide.

Linux

Download the AppImage or .tar.gz from GitHub Releases.

• AppImage: mark it executable, then run it.
• Archive: unpack it and run the included Termy binary.

Linux release launchers prefer X11/XWayland when it is available so the desktop window manager can provide the native title bar and window controls. To run the Wayland backend instead, launch Termy with TERMY_LINUX_BACKEND=wayland. Both terminal and Settings windows request system-managed decorations, including KDE's title bar, window controls, and resize borders. The window manager controls the titlebar theme independently of Termy's terminal color theme.

Windows

Download and run the .msi installer from GitHub Releases.

From source

git clone https://github.com/lassejlv/termy
cd termy
cargo run --release -p termy

This route requires Rust and the platform dependencies used by the desktop app. Prefer a release binary unless you are developing Termy itself.
