It includes a base terminal, directory browser, file previews (images, media, markdown), a graphical editor (for code/text files), a web browser, and integrated AI chat. Wave isn't just another terminal emulator; it's a rethink on how terminals are built. For too long there has been a disconnect between the CLI and the web. If you want fast, keyboard-accessible, easy-to-write applications, you use the CLI, but if you want graphical interfaces, native widgets, copy/paste, scrolling, variable font sizes, then you'd have to turn to the web. Wave's goal is to bridge that gap. ### Package name * waveterm --- ### License * Apache-2.0 --- ### Last updated * 16 April 2026 - latest/stable * 16 April 2026 - latest/beta --- ### Websites * [www.waveterm.dev](https://www.waveterm.dev "https://www.waveterm.dev") --- ### Contact * [support@waveterm.dev](mailto:support@waveterm.dev "mailto:support@waveterm.dev") --- ### Source code * [github.com/wavetermdev/waveterm](https://github.com/wavetermdev/waveterm "https://github.com/wavetermdev/waveterm") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/wavetermdev/waveterm/issues](https://github.com/wavetermdev/waveterm/issues "https://github.com/wavetermdev/waveterm/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/waveterm/opensuse#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install Wave Terminal Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed. You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor. Tumbleweed: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy ``` Leap 15.x: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy ``` If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE. With the repository added, import its GPG key: ``` sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh ``` Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository: ``` sudo zypper dup --from snappy ``` Snap can now be installed with the following: ``` sudo zypper install snapd ``` You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH. Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor ``` ### Install Wave Terminal To install Wave Terminal, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install waveterm --classic ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
