** Module requirement
You have to compile and install the requied module =vterm-module.so=.
In order to compile it you need to have:
- Compilation tools. This include =make=, =cmake= and a c compiler such as
=gcc=.
- Internet connection, because =cmake= will automatically download some requied
libraries from the internet.
There are several ways to install the module:
1. The first time you use vterm inside emacs, emacs will automatically compile
and install the module if it cannot find an executable =vterm-module.so=
file.
*WARNING*: Emacs will hang during the compilation. It may take a while.
2. A fully byte-compile will cause emacs to automatically compile and install
the module if it cannot find an executable =vterm-module.so= file.
3. You can compile and install the module yourself. Go to the vterm installation
directory, which is usually
=~/.emacs.d/.local/packages/elpa/vterm-<version>=, and run the following:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ..
make
#+END_SRC
4. You can also compile the module at other place, and install the compiled
=vterm-module.so= file to your vterm installation folder, which is usually
=~/.emacs.d/.local/packages/elpa/vterm-<version>/=. Also make sure the module
file is executable.
