Use trizen instead. The command line arguments are identical to yaourt, for easy migration. * Add installation instructions using Homebrew I was not aware there was a [Homebrew cask](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/master/Casks/cool-retro-term.rb) for this project, which simplifies installation on macOS. This commit adds documentation for installing the app via Homebrew. * now packaged in the official repository * Update Readme.md to include directions to settings Several users of OS's without titlebars or window decor have expressed confusion at how one change's their theme (in this case, via the context menu). Mentioning how to access the menu in the Readme will make the settings more accessible and prevent any future confusion. It might be more appropriate to create a "Use" heading exploring features such as Performance settings, but for the sake of brevity, I've just inserted a mention at the end of the description, before more OS-specific install instructions. * Adding snap install method Adding snap install method which is supported in most of the distros and is easy! * git ignore app/moc_predefs.h * squelch ugly quotes on 1st line of cool-retro-term --usage * send cool-retro-term --help and --version to stdout * allow --help/-h/--version/-v options without graphics * Bump qmltermwidget submodule.

+## Description
 cool-retro-term is a terminal emulator which mimics the look and feel of the old cathode tube screens.
 It has been designed to be eye-candy, customizable, and reasonably lightweight.
 
 It uses the QML port of qtermwidget (Konsole) developed by me: https://github.com/Swordfish90/qmltermwidget .
 
-This terminal emulator works under Linux and OSX and requires Qt 5.2 or higher.
