Hyper is a customizable terminal built on web technologies, allowing for a flexible and extensible command-line interface

When to use it

  • When you're looking for a terminal that can be extended with plugins and themes
Ready-to-paste prompt
Run `hyper install hyper-dracula` to install the Dracula theme and give your terminal a dark, gothic look
Heads up: Make sure you have Node.js (14 or later) and npm installed on your system before attempting to install Hyper, as it relies on these dependencies to function
