Calypso is a keyboard-driven shell terminal emulator for Unix-like systems, developed by Keith Packard. It is a powerful and customizable alternative to the default terminal emulator on POP! OS. Here's how to install Calypso on your POP! OS machine.
First, we need to add the Calypso PPA to our APT sources list. To do that, open a terminal window and type the following command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:keithp/ppa
You need to enter your password when prompted to authenticate.
After adding the PPA repository to the APT sources list, you need to update the cache information. To refresh the APT cache, run the following command:
sudo apt update
This command will download the latest package information from the added repository.
Once the update completes, you can install the Calypso package using the following command.
sudo apt install calypso
This package includes both the calypso shell and the necessary dependencies.
You can launch Calypso from your terminal emulator:
calypso
That's it; you've successfully installed Calypso on POP! OS Latest. You can now customize and use the keyboard-driven shell terminal emulator to make your work easier; whether it is daily work or programming.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
