About
opn-shell
allows you to execute shell commands in a terminal emulator window that opens either as a tab or a new window (depending on your terminal emulator) configuration.
It will automatically detect the available terminal emulators that exist in your OS and supports both MacOS and Linux, with a fallback to the associated program on Windows.
Install
npm install --save opn-shell
Usage
Call opn-shell()
with a full path to an executable that will be launched in a terminal window.
If the promise returned by opn-shell()
rejects then it failed to detect and open a terminal window.
// @TODO
const TerminalLauncher = require('opn-shell')
const executable = '/usr/local/bin/my-shell-program.sh'
TerminalLauncher.launchTerminal({ path: executable }).catch(err => {
console.log(err)
})
CLI
npx opn-shell my-shell-program.sh
