Install Terminology in Ubuntu Linux Mint
This terminal emulator depends on the core Enlightenment foundation libraries. We can install it as well as the dependencies on Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 13.10, Ubuntu 13.04, Ubuntu 12.10, Ubuntu 12.04 and Linux Mint via PPA.
To get started, press Ctrl+Alt+T on keyboard to open terminal. When it opens, run commands below one by one:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:enlightenment-git/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install terminology
Once installed open it from Unity Dash or Menu.
Remember that this project is still in early development stage, so it may have bugs and not all the above features will work, use it at your own risk!
Really beatiful and useful alternative …
a few problems…

Seems that you’re adding the PPA in Debian Wheezy.
First I’m not sure if this PPA will work for Debian or not. Second, the PPA failed to build the recent packages. Use this PPA instead before the maintainer updating the PPA:
Ji m that repository is no longer sufficient for trusty (doesn’t have that release).
Hey! I just downloaded the amd64 version from the .deb package from the PPA’s launchpad page and installed it with double click. It worked fine for me on Ubuntu 14.04 and Mint 17 so.. I guess that if you can manage to get past the fact that there isn’t a PPA available for the latest version of Ubuntu with terminology packages on it , i think you should try installing it like this.
Otherwise, I still think it’s still way easier than installing from source packages.
These are the direct links to the packages that worked for me:
After installing I hit the “about” button and it says version 0.6.99.
I’m telling you.. I fel in love with this.Not perfect but still
Post updated, now it’s available in PPA for Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 13.10.
it works like a charm, thanks
