# Installation
## Install on macOS
-Install with [homebrew][7]:
+Install with [homebrew](http://brew.sh):
```bash
brew install ttyd
make && make install
```
- You may also need to compile/install [libwebsockets][2] from source if the `libwebsockets-dev` package is outdated.

## Install on Windows
-ttyd can be built with [MSYS2][10] on windows.
-
-> **NOTE:** Native windows console programs may not work correctly due to [pty incompatibility issues][11].
- As a workaround, you can use [winpty][12] as a wrapper to invoke the windows program, eg: `ttyd winpty cmd`.

-## Example Usage
-
-ttyd starts web server at port `7681` by default, you can use the `-p` option to change it, the `command` will be started with `arguments` as options. For example, run:
-
-```bash
-ttyd -p 8080 bash -x
-```
-Then open <http://localhost:8080> with a browser, you will get a bash shell with debug mode enabled.
-
-**More Examples:**
-
-- If you want to login with your system accounts on the web browser, run `ttyd login`.
-- You can even run a none shell command like vim, try: `ttyd vim`, the web browser will show you a vim editor.
-- Sharing single process with multiple clients: `ttyd tmux new -A -s ttyd vim`, run `tmux new -A -s ttyd` to connect to the tmux session from terminal.

+Read the example usage on the [wiki](https://github.com/tsl0922/ttyd/wiki/Example-Usage).
## Browser Support
-Modern browsers, See [Browser Support][15].
-
-## SSL how-to
-
-Generate SSL CA and self signed server/client certificates:
-
-```bash
-# CA certificate (FQDN must be different from server/client)
-openssl genrsa -out ca.key 2048
-openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ca.key -subj "/C=CN/ST=GD/L=SZ/O=Acme, Inc./CN=Acme Root CA" -out ca.crt
-
-# server certificate (for multiple domains, change subjectAltName to: DNS:example.com,DNS:www.example.com)
-openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout server.key -subj "/C=CN/ST=GD/L=SZ/O=Acme, Inc./CN=localhost" -out server.csr
-openssl x509 -sha256 -req -extfile <(printf "subjectAltName=DNS:localhost") -days 365 -in server.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAcreateserial -out server.crt
-
-# client certificate (the p12/pem format may be useful for some clients)
-openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout client.key -subj "/C=CN/ST=GD/L=SZ/O=Acme, Inc./CN=client" -out client.csr
-openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in client.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAcreateserial -out client.crt
-openssl pkcs12 -export -clcerts -in client.crt -inkey client.key -out client.p12
-openssl pkcs12 -in client.p12 -out client.pem -clcerts
-```
-
-Then start ttyd:
+Modern browsers, See [Browser Support](https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js#browser-support).
-```bash
-ttyd --ssl --ssl-cert server.crt --ssl-key server.key --ssl-ca ca.crt bash
-```
-You may want to test the client certificate verification with `curl`:
-
-```bash
-curl --insecure --cert client.p12[:password] -v https://localhost:7681
-```
-
-If you don't want to enable client certificate verification, remove the `--ssl-ca` option.
-
-## Docker image
-
-Docker containers are jailed environments which are more secure, this is useful for protecting the host system, you may use ttyd with docker like this:
-
-- Sharing single docker container with multiple clients: `docker run -it --rm -p 7681:7681 tsl0922/ttyd`.
-- Creating new docker container for each client: `ttyd docker run -it --rm ubuntu`.
-
-## Nginx reverse proxy
-
-Example [nginx](https://nginx.org) conf to proxy ttyd under the `/ttyd` path:
-
-```nginx
-location ~ ^/ttyd(.*)$ {
- proxy_http_version 1.1;
- proxy_set_header Host $host;
- proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
- proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
- proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
- proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
- proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:7681/$1;
-}
-```
+## Alternatives
-This conf won't work fully with ttyd < 1.6.0, please use the latest version.
