Terminal packages
A terminal Fission app is still a real app, but its host is a terminal rather than a native window or browser canvas. Packaging usually produces a command-line binary plus any metadata, completions, or installer format your distribution path needs.
1. Check the terminal target
fission readiness package --project-dir . --target terminal --format binary
Readiness should confirm the terminal shell feature, target platform, binary name, version, and any release metadata used by your package workflow.
2. Package the binary
fission package --project-dir . --target terminal --format binary --release
The package should include the built command and an artifact manifest. If you distribute through GitHub Releases, package managers, or an internal object store, publish the manifest-backed artifact rather than a guessed path under target/release.
3. Verify terminal behavior
Run the packaged command in a real terminal on the target operating system. Check keyboard navigation, mouse support, scrollback, dialogs, color contrast, compact mode, and behavior when the terminal is resized.
Next steps
Read Terminal user interfaces for the app model and GitHub Releases for binary distribution.
