st - simple terminal

st is a simple terminal emulator for X which sucks less.

Requirements

In order to build st you need the Xlib header files.

Note: This branch of libXft was used to avoid st from crashing with emoji.

Installation

st is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default(if necessary as root):

make -j clean install

You can change it by setting PREFIX (for example, install at ~/.local):

make PREFIX=~/.local -j clean install

Running st

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

tic -sx st.info

See the man page for additional details.
