how to install terminator on Centos 8

Terminator is a popular terminal emulator that lets you organize multiple terminal sessions in one window using split panes. On CentOS 8, it’s not included in the default repositories, but you can still install it easily.

Step 1: Enable EPEL Repository

Since Terminator is part of the EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) repository, you’ll need to enable it first:

sudo dnf install epel-release

Step 2: Update Package Metadata

After enabling EPEL, refresh your package list:

sudo dnf update

Step 3: Install Terminator

Now install Terminator:

sudo dnf install terminator

When prompted, confirm by typing y and pressing Enter.

Step 4: Launch Terminator

To start Terminator, simply run:

terminator

Or find it in your desktop environment’s application menu.

Step 5: (Optional) Make Terminator Default

If you want Terminator to be your default terminal emulator:

sudo alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator

Choose Terminator from the list. Terminator is now installed on CentOS 8 and ready for use.
