* HTML in your terminal! cat images and use <table>
* Multiple sessions support (à la screen -x) to simultaneously access a terminal from several places on the planet!

* Desktop notifications on terminal output!
* Geolocation from browser!
* May work on firefox too!

## Try it (LOGICMOO Specific)

```bash
$ pip install .
$ pip install butterfly[themes]  # If you want to use themes
$ pip install butterfly[systemd]  # If you want to use systemd
$ butterfly.server.py  --port=7771 --unsecure --i-hereby-declare-i-dont-want-any-security-whatsoever --cmd="/opt/logicmoo_workspace/packs_sys/logicmoo_agi/prolog/kaggle_arc/Kaggle_arch.sh"

# OR 

$ butterfly  # This might open your browser if you are in X Windows

```

A new tab should appear in your browser. Then type

```bash
$ butterfly help
```

To get an overview of butterfly features.

## Run it as a server

```bash
$ butterfly.server.py --host=myhost --port=57575
```

Or with login prompt

```bash
$ butterfly.server.py --host=myhost --port=57575 --login
```

Or with PAM authentication (ROOT required)

```bash
# butterfly.server.py --host=myhost --port=57575 --login --pam_profile=sshd
```

You can change `sshd` to your preferred PAM profile.

The first time it will ask you to generate the certificates (see: [here](http://paradoxxxzero.github.io/2014/03/21/butterfly-with-ssl-auth.html))

## Run it with systemd (linux)

Systemd provides a way to automatically activate daemons when needed (socket activation):

```bash
$ cd /etc/systemd/system
$ curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paradoxxxzero/butterfly/master/butterfly.service
$ curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paradoxxxzero/butterfly/master/butterfly.socket
$ systemctl enable butterfly.socket
$ systemctl start butterfly.socket
```

Don't forget to update the /etc/butterfly/butterfly.conf file with your server options (host, port, shell, ...) and to install butterfly with the [systemd] flag.
