Is there anyway to use GNOME terminal on macOS?

Can I download GNOME terminal on macOS?


Solution 1:

If you install MacPorts, you can install the GNOME Terminal from the macOS Terminal.app:

sudo port install gnome-terminal

You can also install many other GNOME apps.

$ port search gnome
[...]
gnome-calculator @3.26.0_1 (gnome)
    Calculator with financial and scientific modes.

gnome-calendar @3.24.3_3 (gnome)
    Calendar is a calendar application for GNOME.
[...]
gnome-terminal @3.26.2 (gnome)
    Terminal component for the GNOME 3 Desktop

[...]
Found 158 ports.

MacPorts has a collection of over 20,000 open-source software for Mac. You can see all of the available ports here.

Solution 2:

No, there is no way to run GNOME terminal app in macOS or change the built in Terminal.app to GNOME terminal.

There are third party terminal emulator apps such as iTerm2 available for macOS as well with other features.

Both macOS Terminal.app and iTerm2.app supports multiple tabs in a single app window, thus enabling the user to run multiple sessions concurrently.
