From Source

Build OTTY from source when you want to test the latest code or contribute to the project.

Prerequisites

Install the following tools before building OTTY:

• Git
• Rust through rustup
• A native build toolchain for your operating system, such as Xcode Command Line Tools on macOS or a C/C++ compiler, make, perl, and pkg-config on Linux

The repository pins Rust 1.96.0 in rust-toolchain.toml. Rustup selects and installs that toolchain when you run a Cargo command in the repository.

Build OTTY

Clone the repository and create an optimized build:

git clone https://github.com/otty-shell/otty.git
cd otty
cargo build --release -p otty

The executable is written to target/release/otty.

Run OTTY

Run the compiled executable directly:

./target/release/otty

For development, build and run OTTY in one command:

cargo run -p otty
