MIAOU-BASH

MIAOU-BASH is a collection of scripts and configurations designed to enhance your terminal experience. As the name suggests, it is built on Bash and is designed to work on most modern GNU/Linux systems.

Currently, the automated installation process supports two major distribution families:

• Debian-based: Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc.
• Arch-based: Arch Linux, Manjaro, etc.

A quick note on naming:

• MIAOU-BASH (uppercase) refers to the entire project and package.
• miaou-bash (lowercase) refers specifically to the core utility script included within the project.

For the absolute best experience, we highly recommend using the Ghostty terminal emulator.
