- Bonsai_term is a library for writing Terminal UIs (TUIs) in OCaml, sharing the same programming model as bonsai_web.
- Install opam, OCaml's package manager, to set up bonsai_term and its dependencies.
- Install oxcaml as a prerequisite for bonsai_term.
- Run 'opam install bonsai_term' to install the library and its dependencies.
- Learn to use bonsai_term by reading its MLI file or exploring examples in the bonsai_term_examples repository.
- Refer to bonsai_web documentation for general bonsai concepts, though some parts may not apply to terminal use.
- Resources for learning OCaml are provided, with installation steps from this guide being sufficient to skip those in linked resources.
