🛠️ WezTerm Installer for Debian

This project provides a complete, user-friendly, multilingual bash installer designed for users of Debian-based systems to install WezTerm, a modern, GPU-accelerated terminal emulator that is fast and highly configurable.

The installer performs a full installation from WezTerm's official source code, with the following options:

• Compilation without Wayland support (--no-default-features)
• Use of embedded fonts (--features vendored-fonts)

📦 Features

• ✅ Automatic installation of all required dependencies
• 🦀 Automatic installation of Rust if not present
• 🔁 WezTerm updates from the official GitHub repository
• ❌ Full uninstallation with optional Rust removal
• 🌐 Multilingual interface (French, English, Spanish)
• 🖥️ Adds WezTerm to your desktop menu (Cinnamon, GNOME, XFCE, etc.)

⚙️ Technical details

The installation is done by compiling the sources using cargo, which:

• Requires prior installation of system dependencies (automatically handled via apt)
• Triggers the compilation of about 762 Rust crates, which may take some time:
  • ⏳ Estimated duration: between 10 and 30 minutes depending on your system performance
  • 💽 Required space: several hundred megabytes during compilation

Once installed, WezTerm is available from the terminal via the wezterm command, and from the applications menu in your desktop environment.
