Cleanness	Linux & MacOS	Windows	Dependencies

eDEX-UI is a sci-fi interactive terminal interface heavily inspired from DEX-UI and the TRON Legacy movie effects, made cross-platform and easy to install with Electron.

I had no ideas for a name so i took DEX-UI and added a "e" for Electron. Deal with it.

FAQ

What OS can this thing run on?

Currently Windows (portable binary), the latest MacOS (.dmg and pkg) and any linux distro that can run Chromium (AppImage and tarball).

Is this a real terminal?

Yes. By default, eDEX runs bash on linux and Powershell on Windows, but you can change that to any command in the settings.json file.

Why is there a keyboard?

As DEX-UI's author said, it's there mostly because it looks cool, but in eDEX it's also a fully-capable tactile keyboard.

What's the difference between this and the original DEX-UI?

Seenaburns' DEX-UI was created "as an experiment or an art piece, not distributable software". My goal with eDEX is to create a similar experience, but easier to install, run, and use.

Will using this make me insanely badass?

Yes.

How to run it from source?

on *nix systems (You'll need the Xcode command line tools on MacOS):

• clone the repository
• npm run install-linux
• npm start

on windows:

• start cmd or powershell as administrator
• clone the repository
• npm run install-windows
• npm start
