Tabby is a terminal emulator that allows you to organize your terminal windows into tabs. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Tabby on Void Linux.
This tutorial assumes that you have a basic understanding of the command line and that you have a Void Linux system set up on your computer.
Before we can install Tabby, we need to install the dependencies required to build it. Open a terminal window and enter the following command to install the required dependencies:
sudo xbps-install -S cmake gcc make pkg-config rust
Now we can proceed to clone the Tabby repository from GitHub. Open a terminal window and enter the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/bertvandepoel/tabby.git
With the repository cloned, we can now build and install Tabby. Change to the Tabby directory by entering the following command:
cd tabby
Now enter the following command to build and install Tabby:
cargo install --path .
This command will build and install Tabby to your system. The installation may take a few minutes to complete.
With Tabby installed, you can launch it by entering the following command in a terminal window:
tabby
That's it! You have successfully installed Tabby on Void Linux. You can now use Tabby to organize your terminal windows into tabs. Explore Tabby's features to see all the ways you can customize and optimize your terminal workflow.
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!
