Build targets
Build Targets¶
wakterm ships pre-built binaries for three platforms.
Upstream WezTerm supports a wider matrix, though its last tagged release
(20240203-110809) is from February 2024, and all packages across every
channel still ship that version.
| Platform / Format | WezTerm | wakterm | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| macOS (.zip, universal) | |||
| macOS Homebrew cask | wakterm uses its own tap | ||
| macOS MacPorts | |||
| Windows (setup.exe + zip) | |||
| Windows winget | wakamex.wakterm |
||
| Windows Scoop | |||
| Windows Chocolatey | |||
| Ubuntu/Debian (.deb) | |||
| Fedora (.rpm) | CI builds on fedora-latest | ||
| openSUSE | |||
| Arch Linux (AUR) | 19 votes upstream | ||
| Alpine (apk) | |||
| Flatpak (Flathub) | ~3.2k installs/month, 124k total upstream | ||
| AppImage | |||
| Linuxbrew | |||
| Nix / NixOS | flake in tree, not built in CI | ||
| FreeBSD | |||
| NetBSD |
All upstream WezTerm packages are frozen at the February 2024 release.
Why fewer targets?¶
wakterm focuses build and test effort on the three platforms its maintainer uses daily (macOS, Ubuntu, Windows). Packaging scripts for other targets are still in the tree from upstream and can be revived if there is demand.
If you need a platform that wakterm doesn't ship yet, the upstream WezTerm packages are available, but note they haven't been updated since February 2024.
