Asciinema is an open-source solution that allows you to record terminal sessions and share them online. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of Asciinema on Linux Mint Latest.
Before proceeding with this installation guide, please ensure that you have the following:
As Asciinema is built using Python, you will need to install Python Package Manager (pip) if it is not already installed on your system. You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt install python3-pip
You can now install Asciinema Server by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo pip3 install asciinema
To verify that Asciinema is installed, run the following command in the terminal:

This command will display the current version of Asciinema installed on your system.
To start the Asciinema server, run the following command in the terminal:
asciinema auth
This command will prompt you to create a new account or sign in to your existing Asciinema account. Once you have entered your credentials, Asciinema Server will start running.
You can now start recording your terminal sessions by running the following command in the terminal:
asciinema rec
To stop the recording, press Ctrl + D
