From showterm.io<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s showtime in a terminal near you! Put on your best colours, resize to 80 columns, and let your fingers fly!<\/p>\n

Termshows are purely text based. This makes them ideal for demoing instructions (as the user can copy-paste), making fail-safe “live-coding” sessions (plain text is very scalable), and sharing all your l33t terminal hacks.<\/p>\n


\nInstall<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are two ways to install showterm. The recommended way is to use ruby:<\/p>\n

gem install showterm<\/code><\/p>\n

This works for all Mac users, and Linux users with ruby configured correctly.<\/p>\n

If you are a Linux user who does not have ruby configured correctly, you can install showterm with:<\/p>\n

curl showterm.io\/showterm > ~\/bin\/showterm
\n chmod +x ~\/bin\/showterm<\/code>
\n  
\nUse<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have installed showterm, you can just run it:<\/p>\n

showterm [program to run]<\/code><\/p>\n

If [program to run] is omitted it defaults to your shell (usually bash)<\/p>\n

If you have not installed showterm, you can run the standalone version:<\/p>\n

bash < (curl record.showterm.io)<\/code>
\n  
\nLinking<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each termshow gets its own link. You can add hash-fragments to customize playback,<\/p>\n

<\/code>http:\/\/showterm.io\/7b5f8d42ba021511e627e#slow \u2014 realtime
\n http:\/\/showterm.io\/7b5f8d42ba021511e627e#fast \u2014 double-speed
\n http:\/\/showterm.io\/7b5f8d42ba021511e627e#stop \u2014 stopped<\/code><\/p>\n

access the site over https,<\/p>\n

https:\/\/showterm.herokuapp.com\/7b5f8d42ba021511e627e \u2014 secure!<\/code><\/p>\n

and embed termshows in your own website with iframes.
