I'm using openbox on UbuntuGnome .. if that helps.



So I reviewed the documentation located here:



https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Termite



and I can't figure out how to install it.
I'm very novice and would just like a simple explanation is possible, or at least a nudge in the right direction.



I also followed the instructions here:
https://github.com/thestinger/termite



Did the following:



git clone --recursive https://github.com/thestinger/termite.git
cd termite && make


then get this:



ask@ubuntu:~/termite$ make

          over here is an install script, that nicely explains all dependencies and stuff, I'll just copy that for you ;)



          Install dependencies



          sudo apt install -y g++ libgtk-3-dev gtk-doc-tools gnutls-bin valac
          intltool libpcre2-dev libglib3.0-cil-dev libgnutls28-dev
          libgirepository1.0-dev libxml2-utils gperf build-essential`


          Get and install vte-ng



          git clone https://github.com/thestinger/vte-ng.git
          echo export LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/include/gtk-3.0:$LIBRARY_PATH"
          cd vte-ng && ./autogen.sh && make && sudo make install
          cd ..


          Get and install termite, and setup



          git clone --recursive https://github.com/thestinger/termite.git
          cd termite && make && sudo make install
          sudo ldconfig
          sudo mkdir -p /lib/terminfo/x
          sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/terminfo/x/xterm-termite /lib/terminfo/x/xterm-termite

          • You should not be doing sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/terminfo/x/xterm-termite /lib/terminfo/x/xterm-termite that's a bad idea. What's the point?

          It looks like you didnt install the required DEPENDENCIES. It could be the problem




          Package vte-2.91 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
          Try installing vte-ng https://github.com/thestinger/vte-ng

          • I did see that, but i'm not sure how install vte-ng. They don't tell you how to install it. Do you know how to install vte-ng?

          • This is the read me: * What is VTE? VTE is a library (libvte) implementing a terminal emulator widget for GTK+, and a minimal sample application (vte) using that. Vte is mainly used in gnome-terminal, but can also be used to embed a console/terminal in games, editors, IDEs, etc. VTE doesn't have a homepage.

          An easy viable alternative would be to install terminator which is easily available for all currently supported versions of Ubuntu



          This is a very simple 2 step process.



          1) Enable the universe repository



          2) install terminator either through the Ubuntu software center or via the command line in a terminal with the command sudo apt-get install terminator



          This might be a better choice as some say that terminator is superior because it can seperate the terminal window into several areas and you can re-size them as needed. Multiple windows and tabs are also supported.

            Downvoted because this does not even attempt to answer the problem. There are many reasons why one would not want to install terminator, for example the UI overhead with titlebar and window borders etc. I find tilix/terminix annoying for the same reasons.

          • @BenjaminR Thank you for sharing your views. Rest assured that I posted this answer in an honest attempt to help with the belief that an alternative solution would be welcome. Perhaps this question would have had an answer to your liking sooner of you had made an effort to provide one. I'm sure the community would benefit if you would take a more active role. :-)

            You've misunderstood me, but I understand why as my comment is definitely sub-ideal when I read it again. I was merely trying to state that assuming the Asker is not aware of terminator or may not have perfectly valid and specific reasons for wanting to use terminix, and instead offering this as an answer when it does not answer the question definitely deserves a downvote. Any answer which does not answer the question does. Asking "Have you tried terminator instead?" in a comment on the question is totally valid.

            With all due respect, you misunderstand. I provided a viable alternative which is perfectly acceptable under the guidelines. Here's a quote: "Read the question carefully. What, specifically, is the question asking for? Make sure your answer provides that – or a viable alternative.

          over here is an install script, that nicely explains all dependencies and stuff, I'll just copy that for you ;)



          Install dependencies



          sudo apt install -y g++ libgtk-3-dev gtk-doc-tools gnutls-bin valac
          intltool libpcre2-dev libglib3.0-cil-dev libgnutls28-dev
          libgirepository1.0-dev libxml2-utils gperf build-essential`


          Get and install vte-ng



          git clone https://github.com/thestinger/vte-ng.git
          echo export LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/include/gtk-3.0:$LIBRARY_PATH"
          cd vte-ng && ./autogen.sh && make && sudo make install
          cd ..


          Get and install termite, and setup



          git clone --recursive https://github.com/thestinger/termite.git
          cd termite && make && sudo make install
          sudo ldconfig
          sudo mkdir -p /lib/terminfo/x
          sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/terminfo/x/xterm-termite /lib/terminfo/x/xterm-termite


          Voila, this should be it ....

          It looks like you didnt install the required DEPENDENCIES. It could be the problem




          Package vte-2.91 was not found in the pkg-config search path.

          An easy viable alternative would be to install terminator which is easily available for all currently supported versions of Ubuntu



          This is a very simple 2 step process.



          1) Enable the universe repository



          2) install terminator either through the Ubuntu software center or via the command line in a terminal with the command sudo apt-get install terminator



          This might be a better choice as some say that terminator is superior because it can seperate the terminal window into several areas and you can re-size them as needed. Multiple windows and tabs are also supported.

            Downvoted because this does not even attempt to answer the problem. There are many reasons why one would not want to install terminator, for example the UI overhead with titlebar and window borders etc. I find tilix/terminix annoying for the same reasons.

            You've misunderstood me, but I understand why as my comment is definitely sub-ideal when I read it again. I was merely trying to state that assuming the Asker is not aware of terminator or may not have perfectly valid and specific reasons for wanting to use terminix, and instead offering this as an answer when it does not answer the question definitely deserves a downvote. Any answer which does not answer the question does. Asking "Have you tried terminator instead?" in a comment on the question is totally valid.

          An easy viable alternative would be to install terminator which is easily available for all currently supported versions of Ubuntu



          This is a very simple 2 step process.



          1) Enable the universe repository



          2) install terminator either through the Ubuntu software center or via the command line in a terminal with the command sudo apt-get install terminator



          This might be a better choice as some say that terminator is superior because it can seperate the terminal window into several areas and you can re-size them as needed. Multiple windows and tabs are also supported.

            Downvoted because this does not even attempt to answer the problem. There are many reasons why one would not want to install terminator, for example the UI overhead with titlebar and window borders etc. I find tilix/terminix annoying for the same reasons.

          • @BenjaminR Thank you for sharing your views. Rest assured that I posted this answer in an honest attempt to help with the belief that an alternative solution would be welcome. Perhaps this question would have had an answer to your liking sooner of you had made an effort to provide one. I'm sure the community would benefit if you would take a more active role. :-)

            You've misunderstood me, but I understand why as my comment is definitely sub-ideal when I read it again. I was merely trying to state that assuming the Asker is not aware of terminator or may not have perfectly valid and specific reasons for wanting to use terminix, and instead offering this as an answer when it does not answer the question definitely deserves a downvote. Any answer which does not answer the question does. Asking "Have you tried terminator instead?" in a comment on the question is totally valid.

            With all due respect, you misunderstand. I provided a viable alternative which is perfectly acceptable under the guidelines. Here's a quote: "Read the question carefully. What, specifically, is the question asking for? Make sure your answer provides that – or a viable alternative.
