TERMIUM / DOCUMENTATION
Quickstart
From your terminal to your first page in one command. Linux x86-64 and macOS Apple Silicon/Intel.
Install and open
bash -o pipefail -c 'curl -fsSL https://termium.dev/install | bash' && export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" && "$HOME/.local/bin/termium" --first-run
Setup supplies the private runtime, downloads and verifies Chromium and Vimium, configures your shell, and opens Termium. No development tools, separate browser installation, or sudo required. The installer checks platform compatibility before activation; see installation for requirements and troubleshooting.
