Installation

Edit config.mk to match your local setup (st is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default). If you want to compile st for OpenBSD you have to remove -lrt from config.mk.

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install:

git clone https://github.com/deanvry/st --depth=1
cd st
sudo make clean install

If you did not install st with make clean install, you must compile the st terminfo entry with the following command:

tic -sx st.info

See the man page for additional details.

Uninstall

First go to this repo root directory, then enter the following command below:

sudo make uninstall
