Overview
--------

This is a Spyder plugin for displaying an OS independent virtual terminal inside
the main Spyder window. It currently supports both Unix-like and Windows operating
systems.

Spyder-Terminal allows you to easily execute any ``bash`` command inside
Spyder, even ``ncurses`` programs like ``nano`` or ``vi``:

On Windows you can run console applications such as ``IPython`` or ``powershell``:

Installation
------------

To install this plugin, you can use either the ``conda`` or ``pip`` package
managers, as follows:

Using conda:

::

    conda create -n spyder-env -c conda-forge spyder-terminal
    conda activate spyder-env
    spyder

Using pip (only if you don't use conda!):

::

    pip install spyder-terminal

**Note**: At the moment it is not possible to use this plugin with the
`Spyder installers <http://docs.spyder-ide.org/current/installation.html#standalone-installers>`_
for Windows and macOS. We're working to make that a reality in the future.

Dependencies
------------

This project depends on

* `Spyder <https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder>`_
* `Tornado <https://github.com/tornadoweb/tornado>`_
* `Pexpect <https://github.com/pexpect/pexpect>`_ (Posix Systems)
* `pywinpty <https://github.com/spyder-ide/pywinpty>`_ (Windows Systems)
* `Coloredlogs <https://github.com/xolox/python-coloredlogs>`_
* `xterm.js <https://github.com/sourcelair/xterm.js>`_
* `Terminado <https://github.com/jupyter/terminado>`_

Changelog
---------

Visit our `CHANGELOG <https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder-terminal/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md>`_
file to know more about our new features and improvements.

Server implementation
---------------------

Besides a Qt terminal, spyder-terminal also provides a web-based terminal
interface based on Tornado, which allows you to deploy and serve terminals
from a Web/Javascript frontend. To deploy only the server, you can execute
the following bash script:

::

    # Shell option:

    # On Unix systems this can be bash/tcsh/zsh or any Unix shell:
    # bash: /usr/bin/env bash

    # On Windows systems this might be cmd or powershell:
    # cmd: %SystemRoot%\windows\system32\cmd.exe
    # powershell: %SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe

    python -m spyder_terminal.server --port <PORT> --shell <Path to the terminal backend to execute>


Development and contribution
----------------------------

To start contributing to this project, you need to install the ``yarn``
and ``npm`` package managers. If you use conda, you can run the following
command to do that:

::

    conda install -c conda-forge nodejs yarn

Then, please install the package's dependencies with:

::

    conda create -n spyder-terminal-dev -c conda-forge python=3.12
    conda activate spyder-terminal-dev
    conda install -c conda-forge --file requirements/{unix,windows}.txt

depending on your operating system.

Afterwards, you need to run

::

    python setup.py build_static

to build the Javascript components for this plugin.

Finally, in order to run our test suite, please install its required dependencies with

::

    conda install -c conda-forge --file requirements/tests.txt


and use pytest to run the server and client tests for the terminal like this

::

    pytest .
