# Installation
You need to install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) first, then install the tool globally using this command:
```bash
npm install -g terminalizer
```
> Still facing an issue ? Check the [Issues](#issues) section or open a new issue.
If the installation failed, you may need to install the development tools to build the `C++` addons.
⚠️ Terminalizer uses some `C++` addons that require building. Until we release the first stable version that will include prebuilt binaries for different OSs you may need to install some tools to build for now. Try the following, if they don't solve your installation issue, check [https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#installation](https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#installation).
For MacOS
```bash
xcode-select --install
```
For RHEL, CentOS, Scientific Linux, Fedora
```bash
yum update
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
```
For Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives
```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential
```
For openSUSE/SUSE
```bash
zypper refresh
zypper update
zypper install -t pattern devel_C_C++
```
For Arch Linux and derivatives
```bash
sudo pacman -Syyu
sudo pacman -S base-devel
```
Verifying Installation
```bash
gcc -v
make -v
```
# Getting Started
Start recording your terminal using the `record` command.
```bash
terminalizer record demo
```
A file called `demo.yml` will be created in the current directory. You can open it using any editor to edit the configurations and the recorded frames. You can replay your recording using the `play` command.
```bash
terminalizer play demo
```
Now let's render our recording as an animated gif.
```bash
terminalizer render demo
```
## Compression
GIF compression is not implemented yet. For now we recommend [https://gifcompressor.com](https://gifcompressor.com).

```
Examples

```bash
terminalizer play
```
Options
```
-r, --real-timing Use the actual delays between frames as recorded [boolean] [default: false]
-s, --speed-factor Speed factor, multiply the frames delays by this factor [number] [default: 1]
```
## Render

```bash
terminalizer render
```
Options
```
-o, --output A name for the output file [string]
-q, --quality The quality of the rendered image (1 - 100) [number]
-s, --step To reduce the number of rendered frames (step > 1) [number] [default: 1]
```
## Share
> Upload a recording file and get a link for an online player
```bash
terminalizer share
```
## Generate
> Generate a web player for a recording file
```bash

# Configurations
The default `config.yml` file is stored at root directory of the project. Execute the below command to copy it to your current directory.
> Use any editor to edit the copied `config.yml`, then use the `-c` option to override the default one.
```bash
terminalizer config
```
## Recording
* `command`: Specify a command to be executed like `/bin/bash -l`, `ls`, or any other command. The default is `bash` for `Linux` or `powershell.exe` for `Windows`.
* `cwd`: Specify the current working directory path. The default is the current working directory path.
* `env`: Export additional ENV variables, to be read by your scripts when starting the recording.
* `cols`: Explicitly set the number of columns or use `auto` to take the current number of columns of your shell.
* `rows`: Explicitly set the number of rows or use `auto` to take the current number of rows of your shell.
## Delays
* `frameDelay`: The delay between frames in ms. If the value is `auto` use the actual recording delays.
* `maxIdleTime`: Maximum delay between frames in ms. Ignored if the `frameDelay` isn't set to `auto`. Set to `auto` to prevent limiting the max idle time.
## GIF
* `quality`: The quality of the generated GIF image (1 - 100).
* `repeat`: Amount of times to repeat GIF:
* If value is `-1`, play once.
* If value is `0`, loop indefinitely.
* If value is a positive number, loop `n` times.
## Terminal
* `cursorStyle`: Cursor style can be one of `block`, `underline`, or `bar`.
* `fontFamily`: You can use any font that is installed on your machine like `Monaco` or `Lucida Console` (CSS-like list).
* `fontSize`: The size of the font in pixels.
* `lineHeight`: The height of lines in pixels.
* `letterSpacing`: The spacing between letters in pixels.
## Theme
You can set the colors of your terminal using one of the CSS formats:
* Hex: `#FFFFFF`.
* RGB: `rgb(255, 255, 255)`.
* HSL: `hsl(0, 0%, 100%)`.
* Name: `white`, `red`, `blue`.
> You can use the value `transparent` too.
The default colors that are assigned to the terminal colors are:
* background:  `transparent`
* foreground:  `#afafaf`
* cursor:  `#c7c7c7`
* black:  `#232628`
* red:  `#fc4384`
* green:  `#b3e33b`
* yellow:  `#ffa727`
* blue:  `#75dff2`
* magenta:  `#ae89fe`
* cyan:  `#708387`
* white:  `#d5d5d0`
* brightBlack:  `#626566`
* brightRed:  `#ff7fac`
* brightGreen:  `#c8ed71`
* brightYellow:  `#ebdf86`
* brightBlue:  `#75dff2`
* brightMagenta:  `#ae89fe`
* brightCyan:  `#b1c6ca`
* brightWhite:  `#f9f9f4`
## Watermark
You can add a watermark logo to your generated GIF images.
```
watermark:
imagePath: AbsolutePathOrURL
style:
position: absolute
right: 15px
bottom: 15px
width: 100px
opacity: 0.9
```
* `watermark.imagePath`: An absolute path for the image on your machine or a URL.
* `watermark.style`: Apply CSS styles (camelCase) to the watermark image, like resizing it.
## Frame Box
Terminalizer comes with predefined frames that you can use to make your GIF images look cool.
* `frameBox.type`: Can be `null`, `window`, `floating`, or `solid`.
* `frameBox.title`: To display a title for the frame or `null`.
* `frameBox.style`: To apply custom CSS styles or to override the current ones.
### Null Frame
No frame, just your recording.
> Don't forget to add a `backgroundColor` under `style`.
```
frameBox:
type: null
title: null
style:
backgroundColor: black
```
### Window Frame
```
frameBox:
type: window
title: Terminalizer
style: []
```
### Floating Frame
```
frameBox:
type: floating
title: Terminalizer
style: []
```
### Solid Frame
```
frameBox:
type: solid
title: Terminalizer
style: []
```
### Solid Frame Without Title
```
frameBox:
type: solid
title: null
style: []
```
### Styling Hint
You can disable the default shadows and margins.
```
frameBox:
type: solid
title: null
style:
boxShadow: none
margin: 0px
```
# FAQ
### How to support ZSH
The default command that gets recorded for Linux is `bash -l`. You need to change the default command to `zsh`.
* Generate a config file in the current directory
```bash
terminalizer config
```
* Open the generated config file in your preferred editor.
* Change the `command` to `zsh`:
```
command: zsh
```
* You may need to change the font, check the font that is used in your terminal:
```
fontFamily: "Meslo for Powerline, Meslo LG M for Powerline"
```
* Use the `-c` option to override the config file:
```bash
terminalizer record demo -c config.yml
```
