 +
 +==== Install or Build Drawterm ====
 +
 +=== Binary Executables ===
 +
 +Pre compiled Drawterm executables can be downloaded from the following links:
 +  * https://9p.sdf.org/drawterm **(OS X, Debian, Win 10)**
 +  * http://drawterm.9front.org/drawterm.exe **(Windows)**
 +
 +=== Building from Source (Linux and UNIX) ===
 +
 +If you have "git" installed, you can grab a copy by running something like the following in a terminal.
 +
 +''git clone git:<nowiki>//</nowiki>git.9front.org/plan9front/drawterm''
 +
 +Otherwise you will need to download the source. You can go to http://git.9front.org/plan9front/drawterm/HEAD/info.html, click the "files" link, and click the "snap.tar.gz" link to get a tarball of the latest snapshot. "tar xzf" the file and rename the new directory "drawterm".
 +
 +You will also need compilers to build the source. If you are running a Debian or Ubuntu based system (and you've never built an application on your system), you can install these by running a command like the following:
 +
 +''sudo apt-get install build-essential''
 +
 +In addition to downloading the source code, you will need a couple of additional dependancies; libx11-dev and libxt-dev. If you are running a Debian or Ubuntu based system, you can install these by running a command like the following:
 +
 +''sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libxt-dev''
 +
 +Finally, we will need to build drawterm. If you are running Linux, you would cd into the drawterm directory and run the following:
 +
 +''CONF=unix make''
 +
 +After the process completes, you shouldn't see any error. There should now be a "drawterm" executable in the drawterm directory. You can test it by running:
 +
 +''./drawterm''
 +
 +If it runs fine, you should see a new window labeled "Plan 9 Console", with a prompt for the "cpu" (server).
