For users
---------

1. Go to https://ciembor.github.io/4bit.
2. Design your terminal look.
3. Click `Download Scheme` button and select the format of configuration file.

* __ATerm, Urxvt, Rxvt, XTerm and other libXt terminals:__
Copy the generated text to `~/.Xresources` file (you may have to create it) and run `xrdb ~/.Xresources`.

* __Gnome Terminal, Guake:__
Save the generated script into set_colors.sh, make this file executable `$ chmod +x set_colors.sh` and run it `$ ./set_colors.sh`. Alternatively copy generated lines directly into your shell.

* __XFCE4 Terminal:__
Save file as `~/.local/share/xfce4/terminal/colorschemes/4bit.scheme` and choose it in terminal preferences.

* __Konsole and Yakuake:__
Put the generated file to `~/.kde/share/apps/konsole/NAME-OF-SCHEME.colorscheme` and restart the terminal.

* __iTerm2 for Mac:__
Create a file `~/NAME-OF-SCHEME.itermcolors` with the generated xml
content and load it with the `Load Presets ...` button under
`iTerm2 / Preferences / Profiles / / Colors`.

* __Putty:__
Save the generated file with `.reg` extension and double click it.

* __Terminator:__
Copy lines within the [profiles] section of the generated configuration file to ~/.config/terminator/config file.

* __Alacritty:__
Put the generated file to `~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml`.

* __Mintty:__
Copy the colors and save it in `~/.minttyrc`.

* __Other terminals:__
Generate one of the supported formats and copy hex values into the configuration file (or tool) of your terminal.

For developers
---------

You will need some system tools to run the build script:
* [GNU Bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/)
* [Java Runtime Environment 8](https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp)
* [Python 2](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2718/)
* [LESS compiler (lessc)](https://lesscss.org/)
* [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/)

After `git clone` run `npm install`. After that run `./build.sh`. It generates compiled JavaScript, compiled LESS, and merged CSS. For compiling code for production run `./build.sh production`.
