Getting Mosh
------------
- Mosh is packaged for various operating systems.
-
- * [Debian][] unstable
-
- sudo apt-get install mosh
-
- * [Ubuntu][], through a PPA
-
- sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:keithw/mosh
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install mosh
-
- * [MacPorts][]
-
- sudo port install mosh
-
- * [Homebrew][]
-
- brew install mobile-shell
-
- [Debian]: http://packages.debian.org/sid/mosh
- [Ubuntu]: https://launchpad.net/~keithw/+archive/mosh
- [MacPorts]: https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/net/mosh/Portfile
- [Homebrew]: http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/
-
-Building from source
---------------------
-
- On a Unix-like system you can build Mosh from source using the following
- commands:
-
- ./autogen.sh
- ./configure
- make
- make install # as root
-
- `configure` accepts standard options, like `--prefix` to set the installation
- prefix. Pass `--help` for a full listing.
-
- To build and use Mosh you will need
-
- * [GNU Autotools][]
- * the [Protocol Buffers][] library and compiler
- * [Boost][]
- * `ncurses`
- * `zlib`
- * the Perl module [IO::Pty][]
-
- including development packages where applicable.
-
- If `libutempter` is available, `mosh-server` will record sessions in the
- `utmp` file, which makes them visible to commands like `who`.
-
- The file `debian/control` contains a list of the relevant Debian packages.
-

- [Protocol Buffers]: http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/

- [IO::Pty]: http://search.cpan.org/~toddr/IO-Tty/Pty.pm
+ [The Mosh web site](http://mosh.mit.edu/#getting) has information about

+ from source.
Usage
-----
@@ -128,19 +71,13 @@ Usage
$ mosh [user@]host
- A command may also be specified, for example:
-
- $ mosh host -- screen -r
-
If the `mosh-client` or `mosh-server` binaries are installed outside the
user's PATH, `mosh` accepts the arguments `--client=PATH` and
`--server=PATH` to select alternate locations. More options are
documented in the mosh(1) manual page.
- Mosh supports 256-color mode as long as the user's own terminal
- does. Generally this means the `TERM` environment variable must be
- set to `xterm-256color` or `screen-256color-bce` before running
- `mosh`.
+ There are [more examples](http://mosh.mit.edu/#usage) and a
+ [FAQ](http://mosh.mit.edu/#faq) on the Mosh web site.
