# Mac Terminal

> Mac Terminal component

A Terminal component for React, Tailwind and shadcn by @educlopez, version 1.0.0, MIT licence.

A MacTerminal component renders a terminal interface with styled lines of text. It types out lines sequentially with delays and supports different themes. Use it to display command-line style outputs or interactive prompts in a UI.

## Install

```bash
npx layro-cli add @educlopez/mac-terminal
```

Or with shadcn: `npx shadcn@latest add https://layro.dev/r/educlopez/mac-terminal.json`

npm packages: motion
