Download Vibe Terminal

Linux One-line command installation

Automatically detects WSL and graphical sessions, then chooses Desktop or Headless and the appropriate DEB, RPM, or tar.gz package.

Running WSL?

One line turns WSL into a fully managed machine — files, Git and MCP included. Same command inside your distro.

Linux system requirements

Different components ship with different minimum glibc versions:

Terminal & server (vterm · vterm-server): glibc ≥ 2.27 — Ubuntu 18.04, Debian 10 or newer.

CLI (vtermc): glibc ≥ 2.25 — Ubuntu 17.04 or newer.

Remote screen (vterm-screen-server): glibc ≥ 2.31 and PipeWire ≥ 0.3 — Ubuntu 20.04, Debian 11 or newer.

Voice (vterm-voice): glibc ≥ 2.35 and an NVIDIA GPU (driver ≥ 580) — Ubuntu 22.04 or newer.

On older systems the terminal, server and CLI still install and run, but remote screen and voice will not work — such machines cannot provide the PipeWire / GPU environment these features need anyway.

vtermc, the CLI

vtermc ships with both the desktop client and the server.
