   • Mirror 1: git clone https://git.fridu.us/heckyel/hyperterm.git "$HOME/bash"
   • Mirror 2: git clone https://c.fridu.us/heckyel/hyperterm.git "$HOME/bash"

3. Copy the HyperTerm files to your Local Directory

   $ install -d -m755 "$HOME/.hyperterm"
   
   $ cp -rv $HOME/bash/hyperterm/* "$HOME/.hyperterm"
   
   $ cp -v $HOME/bash/.bash* "$HOME"
   
   $ cp -v $HOME/bash/hyperterm/_custom.sh "$HOME/.hyperterm"
   
   $ install -m644 $HOME/bash/template/bash_profile.template.bash "$HOME/.bashrc"
   

4. Open your terminal again or execute the next instruction

   $ . $HOME/.bashrc*
