About the project

Cool Retro Term is terminal tool. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

The project is run by its own contributors rather than by a company. Release cadence, supported platforms and documentation are all decided by the team behind it.

How projects are distributed

Packaging differs from project to project. Some publish to system repositories, some to their own index, some only as source archives that a build tool expects.

Check compatibility first

Check platform requirements first. Recent releases usually need a current runtime and a reasonably modern system.

A quick sanity check

Most surprises here come down to path ordering or to two copies being present at once. Checking which one resolves first usually explains the difference.
