Install Funput Term on macOS

Funput Term installs via Homebrew, on both Apple Silicon (M-series) and Intel.

Prerequisite

You need Homebrew. If you don't have it yet:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Install

brew tap funput/tap
brew install funput

• Apple Silicon → installs a prebuilt bottle (instant, a few hundred KB download).
• Intel → no bottle yet, so Homebrew builds from source (pulls the Rust toolchain; the first install takes longer, after which brew autoremove can reclaim the toolchain).

info

Homebrew installs are not blocked by Gatekeeper — no signing/notarization and no system permissions required.

Verify

funput --version
funput term -- $SHELL

Inside the funput term -- $SHELL session, try typing Tieesng Vieejt (Telex) → you get Tiếng Việt. Press Ctrl-\ to toggle Vietnamese; the window title switches between Funput · VI · Telex and Funput · EN.

Always-on in your shell

Add an alias so a command always runs through Funput Term:

funput term install --alias claude --write

The integration snippet is written to your shell rc file (zsh/bash/fish auto-detected). Open a new shell and claude runs through funput term -- claude. Drop --write to only preview the snippet.

Update & uninstall

brew update && brew upgrade funput
brew uninstall funput
