How to install the latest version of terminator?

  • 772

If I follow the steps of gnometerminator.blogspot.de:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome-terminator
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install terminator

then I end up having terminator version 0.98, but according to the terminator launchpad site there is already version 1.91

Whats wrong here? Thank you in advance

software-installation launchpad repository terminator 16.04

  1. You can download the tar file here :

    https://launchpad.net/terminator/gtk3/1.91/+download/terminator-1.91.tar.gz

    After that you can :

    #tar xzvf   terminator-1.91.tar.gz
#cd  terminator-1.91
#cp ./data/terminator.appdata.xml.in ./data/terminator.appdata.xml
#cp ./data/terminator.desktop.in ./data/terminator.desktop
# ./setup.py install

  2. The method described here worked for me... http://www.webupd8.org/2017/02/terminal-emulator-terminator-sees-new.html

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome-terminator/nightly-gtk3
sudo apt update
sudo apt install terminator python-cairo

  3. There is a new ppa maintained with the latest version:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mattrose/terminator
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install terminator

    Also, the project now lives on gnome-terminator/terminator.
