Retrotxt

Install

There are numerous download releases. Otherwise these installation options are available.

Windows

The download for Windows is for Windows 10 or newer, for use with PowerShell or the Command Prompt.

When unzipped, the program is a single file application that doesn't require installation. It can be placed into a directory of your choice.

Users of WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) should instead use the Linux instructions further in this document.

macOS

Unfortunately, newer macOS versions do not permit the running of unsigned terminal applications out of the box. But there is a workaround.

In System Settings, Privacy & Security, Security, toggle Allow applications downloaded from App store and identified developers.

  1. Use Finder to extract the download for macOS, retrotxtgo_darwin_all.tar.gz.
  2. Use Finder to select the extracted retrotxtgo binary.
  3. ^ control-click the binary and choose Open.
  4. macOS will ask if you are sure you want to open it.
  5. Confirm by choosing Open, which will open a terminal and run the program.
  6. After this one-time confirmation, you can run this program within the terminal.
# A common location for terminal programs on macOS
/usr/local/bin

Terminal download
