Is it possible to make the terminal background live?

Solution 1:

Launch your favorite browser, download node.js and install it. Then download Hyper for macOS (direct download link!) and install it.

Then struggle with configuration and install some "plug-ins" like hyper-cat:

Hyperpower:

hyper-command-gifs or rediscover your programming skills and create your own themes & animations.

To install a plug-in (here hyper-cat) do the following:

cd ~/.hyper_plugins
npm install hyper-cat

Then in Hyper's menu choose Hyper > Preferences. Depending on your EDITOR variable (here the default nano) scroll down, replace

  plugins: [],

with

  plugins: [

  "hyper-cat"

  ],

and hit ctrlO and ctrlX to save the changes. Then reload with cmdR.

The plugin update error can be resolved by replacing shell: '', with shell: '/bin/bash', (or another shell) in ~/.hyper.js.
