Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade alacritty -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade alacritty -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

- name: Install alacritty

Description

Alacritty - A fast, cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator

About

Alacritty is a modern terminal emulator that comes with sensible defaults, but
allows for extensive configuration. By integrating with other
applications, rather than reimplementing their functionality, it manages to
provide a flexible set of features with high performance.
The supported platforms currently consist of BSD, Linux, macOS and Windows.

The software is considered to be at a beta level of readiness; there are
a few missing features and bugs to be fixed, but it is already used by many as
a daily driver.

Precompiled binaries are available from the GitHub releases page.

Join #alacritty on libera.chat if you have questions or looking for a quick help.

Features

You can find an overview over the features available in Alacritty here.

Further information

Requirements

  • At least OpenGL ES 2.0
  • [Windows] ConPTY support (Windows 10 version 1809 or higher)

Configuration

You can find the documentation for Alacritty's configuration in man 5 alacritty, or by looking at the website if you do not have the manpages
installed.

Alacritty doesn't create the config file for you, but it looks for one in the
following locations:

  1. $HOME/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml
  2. $HOME/.alacritty.toml

On Windows, the config file should be located at:

%APPDATA%\alacritty\alacritty.toml

A guideline about contributing to Alacritty can be found in the
CONTRIBUTING.md file.

FAQ

Is it really the fastest terminal emulator?

Benchmarking terminal emulators is complicated. Alacritty uses
vtebench to quantify terminal emulator
throughput and manages to consistently score better than the competition using
it. If you have found an example where this is not the case, please report a
bug.

Other aspects like latency or framerate and frame consistency are more difficult
to quantify. Some terminal emulators also intentionally slow down to save
resources, which might be preferred by some users.

If you have doubts about Alacritty's performance or usability, the best way to
quantify terminal emulators is always to test them with your specific
usecases.

Why isn't feature X implemented?

Alacritty has many great features, but not every feature from every other
terminal. This could be for a number of reasons, but sometimes it's just not a
good fit for Alacritty. This means you won't find things like tabs or splits
(which are best left to a window manager or terminal multiplexer) nor
niceties like a GUI config editor.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
