== Status ==

This is early-alpha software. Consider yourself lucky if it works at all. Many people have put many hours of hard work in to get just this far - respect that effort when making comments and suggestions.
Full-screen functionality is limited. vi and top works. Use Orange-Space for escape. The SYM key is the control key. To scroll the screen, flick the screen. (Hint, it's a Pre app.)

== License ==

Please be aware that org.webosinternals.terminal and x-webosinternals-termplugin are licensed under the GPLv2.

They cannot be used by a closed source application. If you want to use them in a non-GPLv2 but otherwise open source application, please contact the authors.

== Installation ==

You need to be logged in as root with a writeable filesystem. Instructions for both those things can be found elsewhere on this wiki.

<source lang="text">
mkdir -p /var/etc/ipkg/
ln -s /etc/ipkg/arch.conf /var/etc/ipkg/
echo "src/gz all http://ipkg.preware.org/feeds/preware/all" > /var/etc/ipkg/preware.conf
</source>

If you are on the Pre, type:

<source lang="text">
echo "src/gz armv7 http://ipkg.preware.org/feeds/preware/armv7" >> /var/etc/ipkg/preware.conf
</source>

If you are on the Emulator, type:

<source lang="text">
echo "src/gz i686 http://ipkg.preware.org/feeds/preware/i686" >> /var/etc/ipkg/preware.conf
</source>

Then type:

<source lang="text">
/usr/bin/ipkg -o /var update
/usr/bin/ipkg -o /var install x-webosinternals-termplugin
ln -s /var/usr/lib/BrowserPlugins/termplugin.so /usr/lib/BrowserPlugins/
/usr/bin/ipkg -o /var install org.webosinternals.terminal
</source>

Then reboot.

== Other PreWare Applications ==

Note that you can use the same commands to install other applications from PreWare:

<source lang="text">
/usr/bin/ipkg -o /var update
/usr/bin/ipkg -o /var list
/usr/bin/ipkg -o /var install <package> # choose a package from the list
/usr/bin/ipkg -o /var remove <package>
</source>

== Removal ==

You need to be logged in as root with a writeable filesystem. Instructions for both those things can be found elsewhere on this wiki.

<source lang="text">
rm /usr/lib/BrowserPlugins/termplugin.so
/usr/bin/ipkg -o /var remove org.webosinternals.terminal
/usr/bin/ipkg -o /var remove x-webosinternals-termplugin
rm /var/etc/ipkg/preware.conf
</source>

Then reboot.
