## Installing

### From the AUR (Arch Linux) [![AUR  package](https://repology.org/badge/version-for-repo/aur/nautilus-open-any-terminal.svg)](https://repology.org/project/nautilus-open-any-terminal/versions)

```bash

yay -S nautilus-open-any-terminal

```

### Nixpkgs (NixOS) [![nixpkgs stable 24.05 package](https://repology.org/badge/version-for-repo/nix_stable_24_05/nautilus-open-any-terminal.svg)](https://repology.org/project/nautilus-open-any-terminal/versions)

For configuration.nix (works without needing to enable Gnome DE)

```nix

programs.nautilus-open-any-terminal = {

  enable = true;

  terminal = "kitty";

};

environment = {

  sessionVariables.NAUTILUS_4_EXTENSION_DIR = "${pkgs.gnome.nautilus-python}/lib/nautilus/extensions-4";

  pathsToLink = [

    "/share/nautilus-python/extensions"

  ];

  systemPackages = with pkgs; [

    gnome.nautilus

    gnome.nautilus-python

  ];

};

```

### From PYPI [![PyPI package](https://repology.org/badge/version-for-repo/pypi/nautilus-open-any-terminal.svg)](https://repology.org/project/nautilus-open-any-terminal/versions)

Dependencies to install before:

- `nautilus-python` (`python-nautilus`/`python3-nautilus`(newer) package on Debian / Ubuntu)

- `gir1.2-gtk-4.0` (Debian / Ubuntu)

- `typelib-1_0-Gtk-4_0` (openSUSE)

User install:

```bash

pip install --user nautilus-open-any-terminal

```

System-wide install:

```bash

pip install nautilus-open-any-terminal

```

### For Debian/Ubuntu based Distros

Download the '.deb' package, for either Nautilus and or Caja from the [GitHub releases page](https://github.com/Stunkymonkey/nautilus-open-any-terminal/releases/latest).

After that install it either with the apt command:

```bash

apt install .deb

```

Or depending on your Linux Distro, you can just double-click the '.deb' file and install it that way.

### From source

Requires [`gettext`](https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/).

```sh

git clone https://github.com/Stunkymonkey/nautilus-open-any-terminal.git

cd nautilus-open-any-terminal

make

make install schema      # User install

sudo make install schema # System install

```

`install` installs this extension to extension directories of all supported file

managers. To avoid this, use `install-nautilus` or `install-caja` instead.

```sh

make install-nautilus schema # Install nautilus only

make install-caja schema # Install caja only

```

### restart nautilus

Then kill Nautilus to allow it to load the new extension:

```bash

nautilus -q

```

## Settings

To configure the plugin’s behaviour make sure to run (system-wide):

```bash

glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

```

or for (user-wide) installation:

```bash

glib-compile-schemas ~/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

```

### via dconf-editor

![dconf-editor](dconf.png)

### via command-line

```bash

gsettings set com.github.stunkymonkey.nautilus-open-any-terminal terminal alacritty

gsettings set com.github.stunkymonkey.nautilus-open-any-terminal keybindings 't'

gsettings set com.github.stunkymonkey.nautilus-open-any-terminal new-tab true

gsettings set com.github.stunkymonkey.nautilus-open-any-terminal flatpak system

```

## Uninstall

Since `setup.py` does not provide a natively uninstall method the makefile has an uninstall option.

```sh

make uninstall schema      # user uninstall

sudo make uninstall schema # system uninstall

```
