你还记得那个到处都是 CRT 显示器，终端屏幕经常闪烁的年代吗？你不需要那么老，就能见证它的存在。如果你看上世纪九十年代初的电影，你会看到大量的 CRT 显示器和绿色/黑白的命令提示符。那种极客的光环，让它感觉很酷。


如果你厌倦了你的仿真终端的外观，你需要一些酷炫的“新”东西，[cool-retro-term](https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term) 会给你一个复古的终端机外观，让你重温过去。你还可以改变它的颜色、动画种类，并为它添加一些效果。

Nostalgic about the past? Get a slice of the past by installing the retro terminal app [cool-retro-term](https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term?ref=its-foss), which, as the name suggests, is both cool and retro at the same time.

![Cool Retro Term Application](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/03/Cool-retro-terminal.png)

Do you remember the time when there were CRT monitors everywhere and the terminal screen used to flicker? You don’t need to be old to have witnessed it. If you watch movies set in the early ’90s, you’ll see plenty of CRT monitors with green/B&W command prompts. It has a geeky aura which makes it cooler.

If you are tired of terminal appearance and you need something cool and ‘new’, cool-retro-term will give you a vintage terminal appearance to relive the past. You can also change its color, and animation kind, and add some effect to it.

## Install Cool Retro Term in Older Ubuntu-based Linux distributions

There are PPAs available for easily installing cool-retro-term for Ubuntu 18.04 and Linux Mint 19.

```
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vantuz/cool-retro-term

sudo apt remove cool-retro-term
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:vantuz/cool-retro-term
sudo apt update
```


## Install cool-retro-term from the source code [Not Recommended]

For [installing this application from the source code](https://itsfoss.com/install-software-from-source-code/), you need to [install Git and a number of dependencies](https://itsfoss.com/install-git-ubuntu/) first. Some of the known dependencies in Ubuntu-based distributions are:

```
sudo apt install \
git \
build-essential \
qmlscene \
qt5-qmake \
qt5-default \
qtdeclarative5-dev \
qml-module-qtquick-controls2 \
qml-module-qtgraphicaleffects \
qml-module-qtquick-dialogs \
qml-module-qtquick-localstorage \
qml-module-qtquick-window2 \
qml-module-qt-labs-settings \
qml-module-qt-labs-folderlistmodel \
qtquickcontrols2-5-dev
```


Extra packages needed for at least Ubuntu 20.04

```
sudo apt install \
qtquickcontrols2-5-dev \
qml-module-qt-labs-platform \
qml-module-qtquick-controls \
qml-module-qtquick-layouts \
qml-module-qtquick-localstorage
```


Now, run the following command to install it:

```
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term.git
cd cool-retro-term
qmake && make
```


Once the program is compiled, you can run it with this command:

`./cool-retro-term`


If you like to have this app in the program menu for quick access so that you won’t have to run it manually each time with the commands, you can use the command below:

`sudo cp cool-retro-term.desktop /usr/share/applications`


To remove the Cool Retro Term, if you did not copy the desktop file to */usr/share/applications*, just remove the `cool-retro-term`

folder from the location, where you performed the commands. Else, delete the desktop file from */usr/share/applications* also.

Now run:

`sudo apt autoremove`


Or remove all the unnecessary dependency packages.

## Install Cool Retro Term in Linux as Snap

If [your Linux distribution has Snap support enabled](https://itsfoss.com/install-snap-linux/), you can use this command to install cool-retro-term:

`sudo snap install cool-retro-term --classic`


Ubuntu users can find it in the Software Center as well.

To remove it, use:

`sudo snap remove cool-retro-term`


## Tweaking Cool Retro Term

Cool-retro-term offers several ways to tweak the appearance. You can access the settings by right-clicking on the interface if there is no menu panel by default.

![Access tweaks options from right-click menu](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/03/access-settings-from-right-click.webp)

From here, you can go to the **Settings **option for further granular tweaks.

In my opinion, it’s one of the [best terminal emulators for Linux](https://itsfoss.com/linux-terminal-emulators/). It gets all the points for bringing back memories. Enjoy the vintage terminal in Linux :)

## Want more retro stuff in Linux?

If you like retro stuff like this, there are plenty more such thing to take you back into the 80s and 90s.

Got a spare system? Turn it into a retro gaming console with specially crafted Linux distros.
