st - simple terminal

st is a simple terminal emulator for X which sucks less from suckless.org. Original site Original version - 0.6 (2015-07-07)

Requirements

In order to build st you need:

  • Xlib header files - location of these might differ, edit config.mk
  • xft lib headers.

Installation

Edit config.mk to match your local setup (st is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default).

NOTE: to have unicode character support, install freetype2 library headers.

Ubuntu required libraries

apt-get install libx11-dev libxext-dev libxft-dev

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install st (if necessary as root):

make clean install

Install st to ~/bin:

make
make home

Running st

If you did not install st with make clean install, you must compile the st terminfo entry with the following command:

tic -s st.info

Run it with tmux:

st -e /bin/sh -c 'tmux a || tmux'

See the man page for additional details.
