## Installation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Instructions are provided for macOS and many Linux variants to compile Alacritty
|
||||||
|
from source. With the exception of Arch (which has a package in the AUR), please
|
||||||
|
first read the [prerequisites](#prerequisites) section, then find the section
|
||||||
|
for your OS, and finally go to [building](#building) and
|
||||||
|
[configuration](#configuration).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The only supported installation method at this time is from source. Proper
|
|
||||||
installers will be added prior to the 1.0 release of Alacritty.

- _Why doesn't it support scrollback?_ Alacritty's original purpose was to
|
||||||
|
provide a better experience when using [tmux] which already handled
|
||||||
|
scrollback. The scope of this project has since expanded, and [scrollback will

eventually be added](https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/124).
