- `$ git clone https://github.com/nkleemann/ascii-rain.git` 

- `$ cd ascii-rain`

To compile and link 'rain':

- `$ gcc rain.c -o rain -lncurses`

Now you can run 'rain' in your current working directory by just executing: ` ./rain`.

I you want to be able to run this program from every directory you have to copy the executable to `/usr/local/bin` or `/usr/bin`:

- `$ cp rain /usr/local/bin/rain`

### AUR

cursor. Working examples are:

- iTerm 2 (OSX)

- OSX Terminal

- xfce4-terminal

- terminator
