# Actual Web Rendering in Terminal
Or just `awrit`.
https://github.com/chase/awrit/assets/5411/2c3b0b02-3c49-443d-9865-95aeeb9d1275
Yep, actual Chromium being rendered in your favorite terminal that supports the [Kitty terminal graphics protocol](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/graphics-protocol/).
**`awrit` works best in [Kitty v0.28 or newer](https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/releases)**
## Why?
- Display documentation from [DevDocs](https://devdocs.io)
- Watch the changes from [Vite](https://vitejs.dev) come to life
- Tiled layout without a tiling window manager using [Kitty's layouts](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/layouts/)
- Add fancy UI using web technologies, so NeoVim can pretend it is Emacs instead of the other way around
## Installing from Brew (macOS only)
```bash
brew install chase/tap/awrit
```
## Building
**Prerequisites**
- CMake v3.22 or newer
- [Ninja](https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases)
**Linux**:
- Install these packages: `build-essential ninja-build cmake`
- For ArchLinux install these packages using `sudo pacman -S ninja cmake base-devel`
**macOS**:
- Xcode 14.3, try [xcodes](https://github.com/XcodesOrg/xcodes)
- Brew: `brew install ninja cmake`
- MacPorts: `port install ninja cmake`
---
```bash
cmake -G "Ninja" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -S . -B build
cmake --build build
# The resulting build will be located in build/awrit/Release
# The build can be run from the top-level directory with ./build/awrit/Release/awrit
```
## Installing from Source
After building:
```bash
# install to the prefix ~/.local
cmake --install build --prefix ~/.local
# or if you're feeling adventurous
# install to the prefix /usr/local
# sudo cmake --install build --prefix /usr/local
```
If the installation prefix is in your `PATH`, it can be run with `awrit`.
You can check if `awrit` is in your `PATH` with `which awrit`.
## Usage
```bash
awrit [url]
# if url is not provided, it will go to the awrit homepage (this is temporary, promise)
# the URL protocol can be http:, https:, or data:
# if the URL protocol is not included, https: is used by default
```
The `data:` URL in the demo video is the following:
```bash
awrit 'data:text/html;base64,PCFET0NUWVBFIGh0bWw+PGh0bWw+PGhlYWQ+PHN0eWxlPjpyb2
