Prerequisites (Building from Source)

If you want to build aiTerm from source, you’ll need:

All platforms:

• Node.js 18+
• Rust

macOS:

• macOS 13+
• Xcode Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install)

Windows:

• Windows 10/11
• Visual Studio Build Tools — select “Desktop development with C++” workload
• WebView2 (pre-installed on Windows 10/11)

Linux:

• WebKitGTK 4.1, GTK 3, libayatana-appindicator3
• See Tauri Linux prerequisites

First Launch

1. Open aiTerm
2. You’ll start with a default workspace and a single terminal tab
3. The terminal spawns your default shell automatically

Quick Tips

• Cmd+T — new tab
• Cmd+D — split pane (duplicates current tab with full context)
• Cmd+N — new workspace
• Cmd+, — open preferences
• Cmd+/ — help and keyboard shortcuts

Setting Up Claude Code Integration

Claude Code integration is enabled by default. When you run claude in a terminal tab, aiTerm automatically:

1. Exposes MCP tools to Claude Code CLI
2. Captures session IDs via built-in triggers
3. Enables auto-resume for your sessions

No configuration needed — it just works.
