Compiling CGTerm for Debian-based systems

sudo -i                                             ##become all-powerful root
apt-get update                                      ##update the package list
apt-get full-upgrade -y                             ##update the operating system
apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev git build-essential   ##install the one library CGTerm needs to compile
cd                                                  ##
makedir -p sandbox/git                              ##
cd sandbox/git                                      ##
git clone https://github.com/MagerValp/CGTerm.git   ##
cd CGTerm                                           ##
make                                                ##
make install                                        ##

At this point, you can run CGTerm from a terminal. The first time CGTerm is run, it will create the default configuration file in the user's home directory. The file ".cgtermrc" is hidden. It can be edited using your favorite text editor. You can force fullscreen, 80 columns, and change the bookmarks to save effort in dialing out BBSs.
