According to the dev team’s goal statement, they started the Hyper project in order to create a,

a beautiful and extensible experience for command-line interface users, built on open web standards.

Features in Hyper

  • Cross-Platform – Run Hyper on Mac, Windows, and Linux distros. Moving your custom configuration files is a breeze.

Install Hyper Terminal in Linux

Hyper is FOSS and cross platform and at the moment, supports only 64-bit architecture.

In my opinion, Hyper is the best terminal app a classy tech-savvy person can have because it is modern, extensive and fast.

  1. Linux itself aims formerly to leave the 32-bit-architecture supports on most distributions asap! I think, that’s the cause of missing such a related package of “Hyper” for those outdated ‘oldtimers’.

  2. Well, my first try I faced this, I can’t copy & paste, I have a file with some IP’s server a I use to connect, but when I copied on IP and tried to paste it did’nt work.
    Then I try to “search” a previous command with CTRL+R and didn’t work, I guess this terminal is still in develop, so I must wait for next versions, but It looks beauty, that’s right

    • Perhaps, the dev team targeted x64 architecture when the project began. x32 support might be available sooner or later.
      I must add, though, that developers are slowly moving away from supporting x32 architecture. A good example is Canonical.
